Add a new rc.conf variable, sendmail_rebuild_aliases, which tells
/etc/rc.d/sendmail whether or not to run newaliases if the database is missing or the aliases text file is newer than aliases.db. In my opinion, the aliases file should never be automatically rebuilt. The current text form could represent a work in progress. Therefore, in FreeBSD 7.0, this new option will default to "NO". When this rc.d change is MFC'ed, it will need to remain "YES" to maintain backward compatibility. PR: conf/86252 Approved by: re (kensmith) MFC after: 3 days
