- koito17 3y agoThanks for pointing this out. In the release notes, I see > sendmail(8) and its configuration remain available. I assume this means sendmail still exists in base installs. Do you know the rationale behind this decision? Upgrading from FreeBSD 13 shouldn't result in the binary suddenly going away, so I want to believe there are no backwards compatibility concerns with simply replacing sendmail with dma.
- justsomehnguy 3y agoIMO dma(8) says enough about rationale: > dma is not intended as a replacement for real, big MTAs like sendmail(8) or postfix(1). Consequently, dma does not listen on port 25 for incoming connections.
