Description Evan Reisman 2002-08-06 04:10:01 UTC

      The case statement in the start_mta() and start_mspq() functions in rc.sendmail requires the condition [Nn][Oo][Nn][Ee] instead of the condition [Nn][Oo] which is established during the install in rc.conf.  Thus, sendmail starts even if configure as sendmail_enable="NO'' in rc.conf.  In the case of a machine that does not have a domain name, the startup hangs while sendmail tries to resolve name - must press control-c to pass hangup.

Fix: 

Change both case statements in the functions to act on the condition [Nn][Oo] instead of [Nn][Oo][Nn][Ee]
How-To-Repeat:       N/A

This is the desired behavior. It is well documented. See the _long_ 
threads on various mailing lists discussing the change, see UPDATING 
(the 20020404 entry), see rc.sendmail(8), etc.
