in the configuration affecting the base system's MTA, the management of multiple POST-INSTALL-NOTES files could easily become a nightmare. Instead, use a single POST-INSTALL-NOTES file that includes instructions that, at worst, suggest unnecessary but harmless changes. While here, use bullets instead of a numbered list for the notes, so that future deltas are easier to read. Also, mention the 'daily_status_include_submit_mailq' periodic.conf(5) knob, as reported in PR ports/38925. PR: ports/38925 Submitted by: Pat Lashley <patl+freebsd@phoenix.volant.org>
