 28NOTE: If your system doesn't have mailwrapper and/or it won't
 29install on your system, then you will need to move aside system
 30supplied binaries and replace them with symlinks to the binaries
 31supplied with sendmail. The most important of these is the sendmail
 32binary itself. This is typically located at /usr/sbin/sendmail or
 33/usr/lib/sendmail. These will need to be moved aside, and you will
 34need to create a symlink from /usr/sbin/sendmail to
 35${PREFIX}/libexec/sendmail/sendmail. This is required because most
 36third party apps (or, even system supplied apps) will look for
 37sendmail at one of the above locations. There are a variety of
 38other apps such as: editmap, hoststat, mailq, mailstats, makemap,
 39newaliases, praliases, purgestat, and vacation. You can deal with
 40these either by having ${PREFIX}/bin and ${PREFIX}/sbin at the
 41beginning of your PATH, or creating symlinks. hoststat, mailq,
 42mailstats, newaliases, and purgestat are just links to sendmail.
