            Bug ID: 296973
           Summary: make distribution fails with WITHOUT_SENDMAIL
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.1-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

make distribution halts when WITHOUT_SENDMAIL is defined in /etc/src.conf. The
aim is to install onto fresh hardware.
To reproduce
$ make buildworld
$ make kernel DESTDIR=/dist/fbsd
$ make installworld DESTDIR=/dist/fbsd
$ make distribution DESTDIR=/dist/fbsd
...
cd /usr/src/etc/sendmail; make distribution
install -N /usr/src/etc -o root -g wheel -m 644 -T "package=sendmail,config" 
/usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc freebsd.cf /dist/fbsd-dev/etc/mail
install: freebsd.cf: No such file or directory
*** Error code 71

I suspect this is due to the use of 
WITHOUT_SENDMAIL 
in /etc/src.conf
