pkg-message

Shown after installing

you should add in /etc/make.conf:
SENDMAIL_CF_DIR=	/usr/local/share/sendmail/cf

To deliver all local mail to your mailhub, edit the last line of submit.mc:
FEATURE(`msp','[mailhub.do.main]`)dnl

To update your configuration look at /usr/local/share/sendmail/cf/README.
---------------------------------------------------
To use the binaries supplied by the port you should add the following lines
to your sendmail.mc file before any mailer or feature definition:

define(`confEBINDIR', `/usr/local/libexec')dnl
define(`UUCP_MAILER_PATH', `/usr/local/bin/uux')dnl

---------------------------------------------------
To activate sendmail as your default mailer, run:
$ cd /usr/local/etc/mail && cp mailer.conf.sendmail mailer.conf

Your '/usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf' should look like this:
#
# Execute the "real" sendmail program, named /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
#
sendmail	/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
send-mail	/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
mailq		/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
newaliases	/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
hoststat	/usr/local/sbin/sendmail
purgestat	/usr/local/sbin/sendmail

You may also need to update /etc/rc.conf.

2004-03-26 15:05Dirk Meyer (dinoex) · 8.12.11

Add socket map support to the sendmail port (from 8.13.0)

This will allow for easier integration with e.g. ports/mail/cyrus-imapd22,
which already includes smmapd for realtime checking whether the mailbox
exists and is not over quota.

The patch adds
1) an extra knob in Makefile (WITH_SENDMAIL_SOCKETMAP).
3) the extra-patch-socketmap.patch is actually
http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/patches/sendmail-8.12.7-socketmap-v4.patch
slightly hacked (the pathnames) so it cleanly applies through ports(7).
