When you install postfix, it sets up /etc/mail/mailer.conf so that it pipes any new mail into postfix. Or, at least, it tells you what to put in that file to achieve the required effect. That's the point of mailwrapper. It lets you use whatever MTA you want to without having to overwrite bits of the base system or make all sorts of non-portable changes. spf was working fine until upgrading. What has changed? Atm I have spf turned off until I get this sorted. That is a completely different problem, and nothing to do with the presence or absence of mailwrapper as /usr/sbin/sendmail. It's also impossible to answer with no more information than it doesn't work. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

Something severely wrong with your setup. It looks at several places for
sendmail and does not actually check if the program is a valid sendmail
or even executable, just that the file exists.
Not even sure where to start looking. I guess the following is a good
start: sh -c 'test -f /usr/sbin/sendmail echo sendmail found'
If that works on the shell, take portupgrade out of the equation and run
make -C /usr/ports/mail/qpopper clean configure.
FWIW: rev 1.104 of mail/qpopper/Makefile works for me(tm), except for
the configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-apopuid
Here is what we have in response. As sendmail is in /usr/local/sbin a search
in /usr/sbin fails:
[root@dns1 /usr/ports/mail/postfix-policyd-spf-perl]# sh -c 'test -f
/usr/sbin/sendmail echo sendmail found'

[root@dns1 /usr/sbin]# ls -l |grep sendmail
echo 'CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--sbindir=${PREFIX}/sbin' \
/usr/ports/mail/qpopper/Makefile.local
See if that fixes things.
