>Organization:
Sun Microsystems, Inc.
>Environment:

	Exim: I've installed the mail/exim port and
	  overwritten
	  /usr/sbin/{sendmail,purgestat} and
	  /usr/bin/{mailq,hoststat,newaliases} with symlinks
	  to /usr/local/sbin/exim.

	DNS: The machine name is `alembic.isegoria.com', which
	  isn't yet registered.

	Mail: Exim is configured to recognise `isegoria.com' as
	  local; fetchmail is used to grab mail from
	  aecolley@world.std.com and redirect it to
	  aecolley@isegoria.com via localhost.  (Works fine.)

>Description:

	I cvsupped and made world and rebooted.  After a few
	hours, I discovered that sendmail (the real sendmail)
	was running.  Duh; I forgot to nuke it again after
	the make world, so my symlinks to exim had been replaced
	by a newly-compiled sendmail.

	Of course, sendmail isn't configured to know about
	isegoria.com.  It is, however, smart enough to know how to
	send bounce messages and drop all other mail. </rant>

	An option, NO_SENDMAIL, in /etc/make.conf is probably
	in order.  Patch file attached.  Please to commit.
	Thank you.

	Some related comments:

	/etc/rc starts /usr/sbin/sendmail by name instead of
	 making it an rc.conf-variable

	Too many mail-sending things have "sendmail" hardcoded
	 in them (such as, er, send-pr), so the symlink is
	 necessary.

	I removed /etc/sendmail.cf, but of course it's another
	 thing installed by make world, so it will be back.

	Please accept my apologies-in-advance if I've sorely
	abused send-pr or any of its fields.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install something to replace sendmail; configure it;
	make world; reboot.  Watch sendmail come back to life
	like a nethack troll.  Sendmail bites.  Sendmail bites!
	Your scrolls of mail crumble to dust.  --More--
