sendmail on debian testing



Today I upgraded a test machine from wheezy to testing.

It seemed to install systemd, I'm not sure if it's using it or not.

One thing I noticed though was that sendmail no longer starts at boot. Even if I run:

/etc/init.d/sendmail start

or if I cd to /etc/mail and run:

make restart

or if I do this:


nothing except running 'sendmail -bd' will start sendmail.

In syslog I see this:

Jan 31 18:53:43 blah systemd[1]: Started LSB: powerful, efficient, and scalable Mail Transport Agent.

in mail.log I don't see anything when I try to start sendmail via /etc/init.d/sendmail.

I do not have the lsb-invalid-mta package installed.  I have tried reinstalling the sendmail package.  I have tried the testing and unstable versions of sendmail.

Any ideas where I should look next to figure out what's going on?
