>Release:        4.1.1
>Organization:
Zymurgic Fluid Transfer Association
>Environment:
FreeBSD keg.zymurgy.org 4.1.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE #0: Tue Sep 26 00:46:59 GMT 2000     jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386
>Description:
On upgrading from 4.0-RELEASE to 4.1.1-RELASE using a binary upgrade,
although it happily preserves much of the system configuration files
in /etc, it ignores /etc/mail/mailer.conf.

This stops any outgoing mail from working as intended since it hits an (unconfigured) version of the raw sendmail.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install exim (or any other sendmail drop-in replacement), configure it up in /etc/mail/mailer.conf and do a binary upgrade
>Fix:
Manually take a backup, and replace file after upgrade.
