install /etc/mail/sendmail.cf to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and exits with an

Catch this in the Makefile and don't call install if the source and target
are the same file.

Include -D_FFR_TLS_O_T to enable tls policy control since the sendmail binary
build enables that FFR as well.

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outdated documentation, and updating the release notes.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

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

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.

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)

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'.
