This adds easy seperate knobs for inbound (accepting SMTP connections) and outbound (just occasionally dequeueing) sendmail daemon startup. It's always happened if sendmail_enable was set to "NO". That's how Peter wanted it. thomas> Not changing anything requires anyone not using Sendmail as his thomas> MTA to learn about Sendmail 8.12 internals in order to disable it thomas> completely. I think this is an exaggeration. You don't need to learn the internals of sendmail. You need to either read /etc/mail/README or read the rc.conf man page.
