QuestionQ16

Basic BSD System Administration

When replacing the system MTA with a different mail server program, which configuration file must be updated with the path to the new MTA?

  • A mail.conf
  • B mailer.conf
  • C mta.conf
  • D postfix.conf
  • E sendmail.conf
Explanation

FreeBSD uses /etc/mail/mailer.conf to map expected Sendmail-compatible commands to the installed MTA binaries. Updating its entries directs those commands to the new MTA path.
