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In mailer.conf(5) the following text is out of date.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