OpenBSD README
+----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Running sendmail on OpenBSD +----------------------------------------------------------------------- Using sendmail as the default mailer. ===================================== Deactivate smtpd ---------------- Running smtpd(8) and sendmail at the same time is not supported: # rcctl disable smtpd Tweaking /etc/mailer.conf ------------------------- Two scripts are provided along with this package. Run sendmail-enable to adjust your mailer.conf(5), and sendmail-disable to revert your changes. Client mail queue ownership --------------------------- This package ensures that /var/spool/clientmqueue is owned by _smmsp:_smmsp, mode 0770. You should verify that your submit.cf configuration is not using the previous default settings (smmsp:smmsp). Activate the queue runner ------------------------- To process the mails in /var/spool/clientmqueue, the following entry should be added to root's crontab(5): */30 * * * * /usr/local/libexec/sendmail/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q This will start the queue runner every 30 minutes. Adjust according to your needs. Enable sendmail at startup time ------------------------------- Remember to add sendmail to pkg_scripts: # rcctl enable sendmail By default, the flags are set for a basic, localhost-only, setup. To listen to external addresses, they will need changing, e.g. # rcctl set sendmail flags -L sm-mta -bd -q30m
