How to install /usr/libexec/mail.local ?

[goldenfire]

This is a problem accompany with my former Post
"Where is the /etc/mail from?"
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=10745

Now I have installed sendmail again like below and sendmail works.

cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/
make install

But I get some error message

ns# tail /var/log/messages
Jan 28 16:36:55 ns sm-mta[36059]: o0S5f5uJ001156: SYSERR(root): Cannot exec /usr/libexec/mail.local: No such file or directory

Jan 28 16:36:55 ns sm-mta[36062]: o0S5f529001153: SYSERR(root): Cannot exec /usr/libexec/mail.local: No such file or directory

I want to know how to install mail.local correctlly?

ns# cd /usr/src/libexec/mail.local/
ns# ls
Makefile
ns# make

Remove sendmail is really a foolish decision.
Maybe my installation method is not correct.

cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/
make install

What is the right way to install sendmail on freebsd after removed it?
Below is current status.

ns# ls /usr/bin/mail
/usr/bin/mail
ns# ls /usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail
ns# ls /var/spool/mail
ls: /var/spool/mail: No such file or directory
ns# ls /var/spool/secretmail
ls: /var/spool/secretmail: No such file or directory

Sendmail is part of the base OS. This means there isn't a package you can pkg_delete. I think the easiest way to restore it would be to build and install kernel+world.

I believe that I only runned pkg_delete and make deinstall of sendmail.
I still do not understand yhy sendmail was removed.
Do you mean that I need build kernel too?

You probably installed mail/sendmail. There's no need for that port. Sendmail is part of the base OS. No port or package required.

Do you mean that I need build kernel too?

You might need to. But only if your kernel and world are out of sync.

If your current OS was installed from sources, and you haven't updated your source tree or cleared out /usr/obj/ in the meantime, you may even get away with simply running # make installworld from /usr/src/.

Not so lucky!
I have removed files insides /usr/obj for disk space problem.
In fact, I have already rebuild kernel + world according to the manual.
Yes, It works. Although I still feel a little different from before, at least it looks all of the utility have come back.

Thanks all of the help.
