mailwrapper at 100% CPU after freebsd-update

[oz42]

Hello all,

After every (successful) freebsd-update including a reboot I see the mailwrapper eating up all CPU time, emails are not being sent then. The only workaround is to do a make reinstall for Postfix. I do have

WITHOUT_SENDMAIL=YES

in src.conf and

OPTIONS_UNSET=NIS X11

in make.conf.

Do I have a broken configuration somewhere?

I do have

WITHOUT_SENDMAIL=YES

in src.conf

That setting only works if you build from source. It does nothing when using the binary freebsd-update(8) method.

I only update the sources and then build kernel and world, so sendmail *should* not be installed. But apparently an installworld does something with the MTA configuration.

Your first post mentioned you are using freebsd-update(8). So which is it?

 

[oz42]

I do a freebsd-update() for the sources only and then do a buildkernel and a buildworld.

I do a freebsd-update() for the sources only and then do a buildkernel and a buildworld.

I suggest not doing that and using svnlite to fetch the sources. I'm sure it's freebsd-update(8) that keeps adding sendmail back.

Even with a modified freebsd-update.conf ?
