[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #2348] (Closed) sendmail will halt startup if there's no network connection

[Justin C. Sherrill via Redmine]

Issue #2348 has been updated by Justin C. Sherrill.

Status changed from New to Closed

sendmail_enable="NONE" does seem to fix it.  rcdebug reports "NO" as the value still:

In /etc/rc.conf:
sendmail_enable="NONE"

in /var/log/messages:
Apr 14 16:35:13 teeny root: /etc/rc: INFO: checkyesno: sendmail_enable is set to
 NO.

I suppose that could be considered a cosmetic bug.  I'd argue that having to mark "NONE" instead of "NO" is confusing, but perhaps the best fix is to implement DMA.  Closing bug.

Bug #2348: sendmail will halt startup if there's no network connection

Author: Justin C. Sherrill
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal

Target version: 


Even with sendmail="NO" and sendmail_enable="NO" in rc.conf, startup
will hang trying to start various things in sendmail during start, if
starting on a machine with no network configured other than the
loopback interface.

(Maybe it times out?  I haven't waited that long.)

The fix for now is to add

sendmail_submit="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"

to rc.conf.
