mail and system-generated events

[Kurt Buff]

Hate replying to myself, but I seem to have come up with a workaround.
I hope it's actually a good fix.

As part of my efforts earlier (deinstall and reinstall postfix) I also
searched for and rm'ed all of the sendmail binaries I could find,
before the reinstall.

That broke it in a 'better' way, for some value of better:

     atrun[1032]: exec failed for mail command: No such file or directory

I went looking at my other FreeBSD boxes, and found this:

     tophat# ll /usr/sbin/sendmail
     lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  21 Nov 22  2005 /usr/sbin/sendmail ->
/usr/sbin/mailwrapper

This was missing on my problem system, so I put in the link per the
above, and all now seems quite happy.

Someone then pointed me at 'man mailwrapper'.

Still doesn't tell me how I botched it, but it surely does tell me
that I fixed it.
