I updated source and rebuilt world and kernel with no change in sendmail's 
behavior.  This is the revision I have now:

and openssl:

root at Ace:/etc/mail/certs # openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1o-freebsd 12 Jun 2015

so I'm up to date there as well.

> /etc/rc.d/sendmail stop
> mv /etc/mail/certs/dh.param{,~old}
> openssl dhparam -out /etc/mail/certs/dh.param 2048
> /etc/rc.d/sendmail start

After the update I got your email and followed your instructions, except 
for moving dh.param because it didn't exist, and sendmail is happy now.

I checked and there is still no mention of this in /usr/src/UPDATING so my 
question is, when and how is dh.param supposed to be created?  Since I'm 
not the only one with this problem it doesn't seem to be something I did 
or didn't do.  What could have caused dh.param to not be generated?

Thanks,
Frank
