This isn't intuitive, since mailwrapper isn't part of sendmail.

You could ask for NO_MAILWRAPPER, if you must, or simply use
mailwrapper the way it is supposed to be used.

Mailwrapper is not part of the sendmail distribution.  I'm communicating 
with the originator to find out what the problem with mailwrapper is.

Oookay.  So you're unhappy that mailwrapper makes it difficult for you
to use a development version of sendmail.  That sounds like
justification enough for the NO_MAILWRAPPER knob that nbm suggested.

Ciao,
Sheldon.

Yes, it just makes it a bit more difficult to install sendmail from
sendmail inc.  I'm using -STABLE and have not seen any mention of it
migrating to 8.10.0.  If it's not too hard to get sendmail to build using
/usr/libexec/sendmail as it's binary dest dir, I would be happy to do
it.  I poked around the mailing lists and didn't see any pointers on how
to do it.  Like I said, I tried setting confEBINDIR w/ no luck on it
working as I had hoped.  If you know an easy way to do it, it would be
helpful to make a note of it in the mailwrapper(8) man page.  I looked and
it seems quite easy to do w/ postfix and exim.

Thank you so much for you help w/ this and FreeBSD in general!  The entire
team is a wonderful resource to the world :)

It's a fair request for folks wanting to test sendmail beta's in the base 
system without having to muck around with their bmake glue too much.

I'll add a NO_MAILWRAPPER soon unless I get something other than 
"I don't like that".

Please let me know how this works for you.

Obviously, you'll want to add ``NO_MAILWRAPPER=YES'' to /etc/make.conf
before the ``make world'' that you use to test this out.

Ciao,
Sheldon.

The mailwrapper(8) utility is now built and installed only in the  
absence of NO_MAILWRAPPER (rev 1.184 of src/usr.sbin/Makefile). 

This change has been merged onto the RELENG_4 branch in rev 1.183.2.1
