problem in Manmail Makefile?

Yuri,
at the file "test" you can see results - commands:
[/usr/ports/mail/mailman]> make -V WITH_SENDMAIL >> test
[/usr/ports/mail/mailman]> make -V MAIL_GID >> test
[/usr/ports/mail/mailman]> make -V CONFIGURE_ARGS >> test

It's indeed THE SAME:
-----------------------------------
true

mailnull

--prefix=/usr/local/mailman --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.5
--with-username=mailman  --with-groupname=mailman
--with-mail-gid=mailnull --with-cgi-gid=www
------------------------------------- 
It's necessary for me - Mailman must work!
I try to install again on new computer - FreeBSD 6.2, Apache and Mailman by 
ports
- and write you results.

"there's really something wrong with args passed to configure by port" or 
there's another cause...???
Have you ideas to overcome problem?

Thanks!

Are you sure that you have selected Sendmail in `make config' stage?

Check that you have the same output (and if it's indeed the same, then
there's really something wrong with args passed to configure by port):

[/usr/ports/mail/mailman]> make -V WITH_SENDMAIL
true
[/usr/ports/mail/mailman]> make -V MAIL_GID
mailnull
[/usr/ports/mail/mailman]> make -V CONFIGURE_ARGS
--prefix=/usr/local/mailman --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.5
--with-username=mailman  --with-groupname=mailman
--with-mail-gid=mailnull --with-cgi-gid=www


HTH,
Yuri
