Mountain Dew and doughnuts...
because breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
>Release:        OpenBSD -current
>Environment:
	
	System      : OpenBSD 2.8
	Architecture: OpenBSD.i386
	Machine     : i386
>Description:
	In the /etc/rc packaged with the latest snapshot, /usr/sbin/sendmail
	is only started if both sendmail_flags is set and /usr/sbin/sendmail.cf
	exists. However, since /usr/bin/sendmail is a wrapper that can also
	be used for mailers which don't use sendmail.cf (postfix in my case)
	it fails to start the wrapper when needed.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install postfix, don't have a sendmail.cf
>Fix:
	Possibly remove the check for sendmail.cf, although that might
	have been added to keep sendmail from freezing, I don't know.
