Yes, man rc.sendmail(8).  I guess I'm really not sure what your
malfunction is, Joe.  What do you not understand about
'deprecated' and 'will be removed in a future release'?  BTW, I
really don't care to discuss it any further; if you have any 
additional information for the OP, by all means, give it.
Otherwise, have a happy holiday, and drop it.
