Description Rob LA LAU 2021-04-20 16:35:24 UTC

Defining 'sendmail_enable="NONE"' sets all sendmail related vars to "NO".
However, with this variable set to "NONE", `service -e' still lists sendmail as enabled.

6 months, so I guess nobody cares.
Let's close this bug.

Saw this reported today on #FreeBSD on libera.chat.

Looks like it is confused by the fact that /etc/rc.d/sendmail has name="..." and rcvar="..." twice.

> grep ^name= /etc/rc.d/sendmail 
name="sendmail"
name="sendmail_msp_queue"

Therefore addding sendmail_msp_queue=NO makes "service -e" to believe the sendmail is no longer enabled.

Good that the manpage explains the heuristic used to detect enabled services...
