Except that with the rc.conf changes to sendmail_enable you now need to start your MTA from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/{qmail|postfix|exim|...}.sh or rc.local and setting sendmail_enable=NO rather than it just working once you fixup mailer.conf. I think this patch pretty much does away with the arguments that the sendmail_* rc.conf variables should be mta_* as it pretty much makes the knob useless for any other mailer with a sendmail compatible interface. I'm not complaining about it. I do like I'm supposed to and read FreeBSD-STABLE. :-) Now I know I have to do some extra work the next time I upgrade a -STABLE system.
