>Description:
	Currently, /bin/rmail is the one provided by sendmail.
	If one receives mails via UUCP and uses qmail as the MTA,
	installing recent stable/current with sendmail 8.12.x or
	making world without `NO_SENDMAIL=true' may be a problem
	because /var/qmail/bin/sendmail called from new rmail
	always returns an error.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install recent stable or current with sendmail 8.12.x.
	Use qmail as MTA with mailwrapper.
	Receive mail via UUCP.
>Fix:
	/bin/rmail is a program that should be provided by MTA.
	For example, if one uses qmail as the MTA, /bin/rmail
	should be replaced by /var/qmail/bin/sendmail.
	As FreeBSD uses mailwrapper to make MTA alteration easy,
	/bin/rmail is another program that deserves configuration
	by /etc/mail/mailer.conf.

	No patch provided due to my poor ability in programming.

State-Changed-Why:  

The last time this conversation came up we decided that the condition 
you describe is such an edge case that those actually using UUCP for 
mail should be relied upon to make things right for their own systems.
