https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=275575

            Bug ID: 275575
           Summary: sendmail_enable="YES" does not start sendmail
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: gmelis@mikroskosmos.gr

Setting sendmail_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf.local does not
start the sendmail daemon. It reports it as starting but their status remains
not running. I.e.:

root@dove /etc/mail # service sendmail start   
Starting sendmail.
Starting sendmail_msp_queue.
root@dove /etc/mail # service sendmail status
sendmail is not running.
sendmail_msp_queue is not running.

And `ps` verifies the not running part. It can be started from the console as
in

/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail -L sm-mta -bd -q30m
/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m

and it will be reported as running, it can be stopped, but restart and start
both fail silently and slyly.
