sentinel port : pkg-message missing

[Stephane Lentz]

Hi, 

Jeff D. Hamann didn't use send-pr to report the problem apparently. 
Can anyone update the sentinel port to provide some clear pkg-message
as I proposed below. 

Regards,

The sentinel-1.6.5b.tar.gz tarball comes with a README.Solaris that provides
the relevant instructions (the README.FreeBSD provides other info) : 
<<
 INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`sentinel',`S=local:/var/run/sentinel/sock,T=S:2m;R:4m;E:6m')
            define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS',`sentinel')
>>

Use send-pr to ask the FreeBSD packager for sentinel to provide a pkg-message
that will specify how to get it to work for instance :  
<<
Reconfigure sendmail to use sentinel, for example add this lines to
   your sendmail.mc (or freebsd.mc) :

 INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`sentinel',`S=local:/var/run/sentinel/sock,T=S:2m;R:4m;E:6m')dnl
 define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS',`sentinel')dnl

   rebuild sendmail.cf and install it.

FreeBSD 4.4 is old : please consider installing FreeBSD 4.8. 
Beware the README.FreeBSD specify
<<
Unfortunately you cannot use "rbl" feature on FreeBSD platform.
I didn't find reentrant gethostbyname() implementation for FreeBSD.
If somebody find out right solution, please let me know and I implement
it right away.
