Hi there,

FreeBSD 4.11
ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.7/8.13.7

might you please help me with generating and/or finding an appropriate 
/etc/mail/Makefile ?

since I upgraded to 8.13.7 there appears to no longer be a 
/var/run/sendmail.pid file .

# make restart
/bin/kill -HUP `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid`
head: /var/run/sendmail.pid: No such file or directory
usage: kill [-s signal_name] pid ...
       kill -l [exit_status]
       kill -signal_name pid ...
       kill -signal_number pid ...
*** Error code 1


cheers,

Noah
