let's go past this one more time:

"Sure, sendmail.cf is hard to work with so the solution is you learn m4!"

Did you look at the link he offered?  How helpful is that?

Beside which, m4 is a PORT.  So if sendmail is not configurable
without a port, why isn't it a port?

Can we go back to our regular hacking, please?  m4 is not a port:

 $ which m4
 /usr/bin/m4

Evidently my package database is corrupt in some way, because it shows m4 as
an installed port.  I wonder how that happened, how to fix it, and if it
will bite if I leave it alone.


%whereis m4
m4: /usr/bin/m4 /usr/share/man/en.ISO8859-1/man1/m4.1.gz /usr/src/usr.bin/m4

It's not a package.

If you want to fix it pkgdb -F
