System: NetBSD bsd 1.5.1_BETA2 NetBSD 1.5.1_BETA2 (BSD) #5: Wed May 16 15:45:02 CDT 2001 root@bsd:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/BSD i386


>Description:
	In mailer.conf(5) the following text is out of date.

---
     This example shows how to invoke the fictitious "newmail" program in
     place of sendmail.

     # Emulate sendmail using postfix
---

	First it references the fictitous "newmail" program and then the 
	example shows the Postfix MTA.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Read various man pages and every now and then notice a bug. :-)
>Fix:
	Attached is a diff to remove the fictitious "newmail" program
	reference.  FreeBSD has fixed this text as well, but I didn't
	like their replacement verbage, so I made my own.
