Description David Watzke 2006-05-10 13:06:22 UTC

checking sendmail... configure: error:
File /usr/sbin/sendmail is not an executable file

but sendmail (from mail-mta/ssmtp) is in /usr/bin. Symlink is workaround:

cd /usr/sbin && ln -s ../bin/sendmail

Hmmm, you are using one of those mailer-config compatible revisions, it seems...

Comment 2 David Watzke 2006-05-10 13:17:00 UTC

I think so, mail-mta/ssmtp-2.61-r31.
