Dirk,
Thank You for the response.
I think I am close.
You were right on with the CVSUP /usr/posrt/Mk. I CVSUP'd ports-base and
make install runs in /usr/ports/mail/sendmail
without any complaints.
I now received the message you spoke of:
as the message tells:
[...]

To activate sendmail as your default mailer, call the target 'mailer.conf':
/usr/ports/mail/sendmail$ make mailer.conf
And this worked fine..
My last point of confusion:
I do not know what to do about rc.conf, defaults/rc.conf,
/usr/local/etc/rc.d, etc.
As it stands now I have changed flags in /etc/rc.conf
as the message tells:
[...]
in FreeBSD-RELEASE < 4.6 set your flags in /etc/rc.conf:
sendmail_flags="-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q1m"
When I reboot my system, only the msp portion starts.
Do I need to use the shell scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d? and what do I do
with them to start automatic??
Do I need to disable sendmail in rc.conf as Mathew Seaman indicated in his
response?

you forgot to do:

This is sendmail in the base installation.

This is a ports installation.

no.

no.
You must update mailer.conf by hand, or by "make mailer.conf"

yes.

To activate sendmail as your default mailer, call the target 'mailer.conf':
/usr/ports/mail/sendmail$ make mailer.conf
Your '/etc/mail/mailer.conf' should look like this:

please check:
# make -V ECHO_CMD
echo
if this does not show, please cvsup "/usr/ports/Mk".
