Too many people have complained about my choice of MTA user (sendmail).
Bite the bullet _now_ and use MTA user exim instead. This means that only early adopters of Exim-3.31 are affected, rather than lots more folks further down the line. I still think mailnull is better, but nobody in the Exim community agrees with me. :-) Bump PORTREVISION as appropriate.
