okay I jsut installed sendmail-8.12.10 from /usr/ports the other day.  and I
try to start version 8.12.10 but 8.12.9 still gets executed.   this is really
strange?

from /etc/mail/Makefile

---- snip  -----

SENDMAIL?=              /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
MAKEMAP?=               /usr/local/sbin/makemap

--- snip ----


these files were updated October 2nd.

--- snip ---

# ls -l /usr/local/sbin/sendmail                      
-r-xr-sr-x  1 root  smmsp  660582 Oct  2 18:47 /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
# ls -l /usr/local/sbin/makemap                       
-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin  bin  82495 Oct  2 18:47 /usr/local/sbin/makemap

--- snip ---

but going to port 25 - version 8.12.9 is getting run:

# telnet 127.0.0.1 25                                 
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost
Escape character is '^]'.
220 localhost ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.9/8.12.10; Fri, 3 Oct 2003 10:44:45 -0700 (PDT)

--- snip ---

what am I doing wrong?
