It's Exim that gets those reports, and Exim that mails them to root. You can disable those reports by setting the following in your /etc/periodic.conf daily_output="/dev/null" daily_status_security_output="/dev/null" weekly_output="/dev/null" monthly_output="/dev/null" This isn't related to sendmail though. It's a configuration option of periodic(8), which you can change even if sendmail/exim/whatever is running on your system. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
