[BUGS] mangled sendmail just like freebsd v6.2 installation

[jonathan michaels]

   greetings, gentle peoples ...

   well its 2 am almost and i've managed to finish a v7 installations, mores teh
   point fixing the mess sysinstall makes off teh networking setup.

   i installed v7 on a small box with a 120 gb ide hard drive (tht is also having
   recognition problems with freebsd, but not solaris and linux -- various).

   after installing freebsd v7 frm teh cdrom i watched it fail to send teh
   overnight maintenance reports tot eh mailserve for reasons best known to teh
   people who make thes things work the way that they do...

   i reinstalled freebsd v7 this time from a dvdrom i got from another distributor
   but teh same edition v7.0-release and i sent a fe mail to myself across teh
   network ,, just like with all teh (nightmares) mail problems that i had with
   v6,?? nothing would get through but every thing else looks like it worked
   reasonably well.

   then i slogin to teh v7 box and in an adjecent window i put up a wrking copy of
   the two rc.conf filesnext tot eh one v7 produced and fails to send mail through
   to teh mailserver,
    for the life o me i could not see what teh differnces were if any ?? but i
   coppied over the relevent things .. i then rechecked networks file i know it
   not needed but i like to have it there for complelness, edited hosts and a few
   others, note none of these have any effect on mail routing etc.

   then i tried to send a mail to myself .. and now it works .. just like with
   v6.etc

   anyone got any ideas as to what is going on here ?? i never hand thes kinds of
   ridiculious (as i see it to be) problems with these new freebsds

   its been a long day and now the mail is working so i am goin to bed to get some
   muchneeded rest/sleep.

   observations/pointers/whatever

   much kind regards

   jonathan
