And I found this on the net: > By the way, if getting rid of Sendmail is your goal, then > sendmail_enable=3D"NONE", while working, is not the best solution. > sendmail_enable, like the other sendmail_* knobs, is an rc.sendmail > setting, and you can easily disable even loading rc.sendmail by setting > the mta_startup_script knob to an empty string (""). Does this mean that I only need to add the entry: #------------------------------ mta_startup_script=3D"" #----------------------------- in /etc/rc.conf to stop sendmail completely? Thanks. --- Choy Kho Yee url: http://dotkoyi.infoseek.ne.jp/ blog: http://dotkoyi.blogspot.com/ "There are only 10 types of people in the world, i.e. those who understand binary numbers and those who do not." --------------- >From /usr/src/UPDATING: 20020411: New sendmail startup scripts have been installed to make it easier to use alternative MTAs with FreeBSD. The rc.conf variable mta_start_script can be set to a script for starting an alternative MTA or to "" to prevent any MTA from being started at boot. So the answer is yes. :) Mark. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to = "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
