Beyond changes to the build system, this includes fixing up the sample
freebsd.mc configuration for changes in defaults and syntax, removing
outdated documentation, and updating the release notes.
as well as rename access.txt back to the standard access. Also modify
the Makefile to know how to build hashes for each of these databases.
If one of the databases is missing when Make is run, use a commented
out version of the sample.

(grrr.....should have been one commit
did the last commit from a subdirectory)
This makes it possible to run make from cron, i.e.:
root's crontab:
( cd /etc/mail; make all install )
without the error:
makemap hash /etc/mail/spamsites < /etc/mail/block_domains.txt
makemap: not found
*** Error code 127
If this solution is widely accepted, I'd like to merge it into -STABLE
retain additional message in check_relay ruleset,
the message is written into the maillog.
this is useful to a site's postmaster.

same fix as recorded in misc/5924
that problem report was filed against the stable branch
but that's not a reason not to fix it here as well ;)

domains/ips listed in these files are *NOT* filtered,
even if listed in domains.txt or ips.txt.
someone added netcom.com to the domains.txt file,
resulting in all mail from netcom.com being blocked.
check_relay cannot return temporary errors.
The temporary error is logged in the sendmail log, but on the SMTP
protocol level, sendmail returns '550 Access Denied'.

break each ruleset into identified sections. (called groups).
note which groups can be reordered.
each group accepts and returns the same strings,
as much as possible.
reactivate Paul Vixie's RBL (in check_mail)
add rules to limit mail relaying to a list of hosts and domains
in the R class (check_rcpt, not active on hub.freebsd.org)

Uncomment abuse, security, and ftp aliases.
Add aliases ftp-bugs -> ftp. ftp-bugs is the default email address
which print our ftp daemon if a user type the command 'rhelp'.
