            Bug ID: 254103
           Summary: periodic.conf doesn't read rc.conf parameters
                    correctly
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ipfreak at yahoo.com

---- in rc.conf, sendmail parameters were set as following:

sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"

---- sendmail daemon was not running:

user at server:~:$ sudo service ssendmail status
ssendmail does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup
directories (/usr/local/etc/rc.d), or is not executable

---- but everyday morning 03:00, there were following messages logged in
console.log:

Mar 6 03:01:00 <console.info> server kernel: Mar 6 03:01:00 <mail.crit> server
sendmail[35319]: My unqualified host name (server) unknown; sleeping for retry
Mar 6 03:02:00 <console.info> server kernel: Mar 6 03:02:00 <mail.alert> server
sendmail[35319]: unable to qualify my own domain name (server) -- using short
name
Mar 6 03:02:01 <console.info> server kernel: Mar 6 03:02:01 <mail.crit> server
sendmail[44481]: My unqualified host name (server) unknown; sleeping for retry

---- per advice, changed following lines in periodic.conf as workaround:

daily_clean_hoststat_enable="NO"
daily_status_mailq_enable="NO"
daily_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO"
daily_queuerun_enable="NO"
