I think you aren't correct at least with the fresh install I did this
morning wiht 5.2.1 your'e comment about changing group and user to smmsp
doesn't work.
IMHO it wouldn't make much sense either because sendmail only interacts
with the socket not creating or deleting it, the socket actually is
created at boot time but it dissapears at the very moment the boot
shell detaches form the antivir startup script.
This behaviour is typical for 5x , I believe that 4x doesnt show that
behaviour, I can't backup that haven't tested it with 4x.
Actually I notices if you replace `fi` with `fi &` from the first start
case it works also, handy workaround if you have already installed it
from the port. But I favour for my script(ofcourse:-)) it has some nice
extra features, like generating mc and cf files depending on your'e
configuration, a status check wich also does a control on the existince
of the socket ,a pre-test to check if all depending binaries and files
are in place, and a update option.
