>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Kendra Electronic Wonderworks
>Environment:

	Newly installed 2.2.1 system which will use sendmail and options:

		O HostStatusDirectory=.hoststat
		O SingleThreadDelivery=True 

>Description:

	The install does not create /var/spool/mqueue/.hoststat file,
	used to store the status of down hosts and for single threading
	connections to such hosts.

>How-To-Repeat:

	With a normal scratch install, run sendmail with the above options
	(.hoststat is the default name generated by the m4 configurations),
	and no host status saved because the directory does not exist.

>Fix:
	
	Modify install to build .hoststat in /var/spool/mqueue/.hoststat
	immediately after building the parent directory.
