See if /usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf exists. That will override

/etc/mail/mailer.conf was the issue as it pointed to dma.
I replaced it with /usr/share/examples/sendmail, seems to work.

Glad it worked!  I confess I didn't like the news either.  To be even
more honest, I prefer qmail.  Now that it's public domain, I find it
curious that people don't use it and maintain it.  It's so simple and so
beautiful.

Would you be able to recover the whole discussion?  I'd like to go
through it.

I did like qmail, but it got rather stagnant after Dan moved on to
other things. I started using Postfix and found that I really liked
it.

What's there to continue, though, beyond the patches that people wrote?
I'm running qmail with TLS, SPF and DKIM.  I don't adhere to DMARC, but
I wouldn't in any other case.
