It doesn't. /usr/bin/sendmail is NOT the same as the Sendmail package.
/usr/bin/sendmail is a generic program that is can be used from the commandline to send emails. ALL virtual/mta packages should provide it. If they don't, then they are broken. I personally know that both Sendmail and Qmail ebuilds do provide it (I have confirmed it myself I mean). If somebody could point out a virtual/mta that doesn't then we will see about getting it fixed. The check originated because of some people that had custom MTA installs, and forgot to create a symlink for /usr/bin/sendmail, and then wondered why the PHP compile was failing. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
