console log says: backup kernel: backup sendmail: fatal: usage: sendmail

[makdaddy8888]

Hi friends,

1. Why is my console log using backup kernel?
2. How can I export my screen dump/file dump and post it to pastebin or something similar?
3. I have been trying to follow Thread 10728 in a attempt to get my FreeBSD 9.0 working as a "catch all"/ backup MX email server.

I followed to the letter the above posts ignoring the Nginx, Roundcube varient as I am fairly happy with Apache 2.2.

I think my the error might have something to do with /etc/mail/mailer.conf but not sure. I was fairly certain that Sendmail was not being used as I installed Postfix from ports.

When I run sendmail stop/stop I get

postfix/postfix-script: stopping/starting the Postfix mail system

Here is my mail.conf:

sendmail    /usr/local/sbin/postfix
send-mail    ""
mailq        ""
newaliases   ::

Thanks for any help and apologies for asking three different questions in the one thread.

It isn't, the name before "kernel" is the name of the machine.

How can I export my screen dump/file dump and post it to pastebin or something similar?

I think there are command line utilities to upload text directly to those sites, but haven't used them.

Asking a bunch of questions in a single thread generally does not get high-quality replies. It's better to split those up into separate threads, with titles that will attract users knowledgeable in those areas.
