Bug #2348
closed
sendmail will halt startup if there's no network connection
0%
Description
Even with sendmail="NO" and sendmail_enable="NO" in rc.conf, startup
will hang trying to start various things in sendmail during start, if
starting on a machine with no network configured other than the
loopback interface.
(Maybe it times out? I haven't waited that long.)
The fix for now is to add
sendmail_submit="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"
to rc.conf.

sendmail_enable="NONE" does seem to fix it. rcdebug reports "NO" as the value still:
In /etc/rc.conf:
sendmail_enable="NONE"
in /var/log/messages:
Apr 14 16:35:13 teeny root: /etc/rc: INFO: checkyesno: sendmail_enable is set to
NO.
I suppose that could be considered a cosmetic bug. I'd argue that having to mark "NONE" instead of "NO" is confusing, but perhaps the best fix is to implement DMA. Closing bug.
