Package: sendmail Version: 8.7.5-4 After saying `/etc/init.d/sendmail stop', `/etc/init.d/sendmail start' will not restart sendmail because it thinks it is already running. I think this is because /var/run/sendmail.pid isn't unlinked for some reason.
This is a serious problem; if you edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, it will conveniently rebuild sendmail.cf and aliases.db and offer to restart sendmail, but instead it will kill your sendmail! -- Shields, CrossLink.
