Hi!

The "make upgrade" target in /usr/src overwrites /etc/mail/mailer.conf, 
wich is a file admins modify if they run any other MTA than sendmail.

Please, do not make the make upgrade target overwrite this file without 
checking if it has been modified to work with another MTA.


It's "make installworld" I think.
Hmm...are you guys sure? I just checked (with CURRENT) and I cannot find 
mailer.conf in neither 'make installworld' nor 'make upgrade' output...

The only place where mailer.conf is unconditionally installed here is 
the 'distribution' target of etc/Makefile.
