Description Oleg V. Naumann 2002-07-02 22:20:07 UTC 
	I have some milter-written mail filters, which I need to load
	before sendmail. Existing /etc/rc.sendmail doesn't have any capabilities
	for this purpose. So I have patch for /etc/rc.sendmail, which allows load any
	sendmail companions from /etc/rc.sendmail.early just before sendmail.

How-To-Repeat: 	Try to load any milter-written filters before sendmail.

Your method could break post-boot rc.sendmail calls (e.g., using 
`/etc/rc.sendmail restart` would run rc.sendmail.early every time). 

Instead, I suggest putting this in your /etc/rc.conf: 

mta_start_script="/etc/rc.mta"		# (or pick a different name) 

Then create /etc/rc.mta which starts your filters and at the end, runs 
/etc/rc.sendmail to start sendmail.
