FWIW this is from my mail server running Postfix: # grep sendmail /etc/rc.conf sendmail_enable="YES" sendmail_flags="-bd" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO" I don't think this is the problem the OP had, though, since he didn't mention that boot process hung. Just some services did not start. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
