I recently ran into this problem, too. The source is that /etc/rc DOES
run sendmail regardless of the value of sendmail_enable if there is a
recoverable vi session on the system.
I really wish that this was not the case. Unless you edit /etc/rc,
it's unavoidable and I don't think this is right. But I can live with
it.
The lines are at about 470 with the actual invocation at line 501 of
/etc/rc in Stable as of yesterday.
vibackup=`echo /var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.*`
if [ "${vibackup}" != '/var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.*' ]; then
echo 'Recovering vi editor sessions'
for i in /var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.*; do
# Only test files that are readable.
if [ ! -r "${i}" ]; then
continue
fi
# Unmodified nvi editor backup files either have the
# execute bit set or are zero length. Delete them.
if [ -x "${i}" -o ! -s "${i}" ]; then
rm -f "${i}"
fi
done
# It is possible to get incomplete recovery files, if the editor
# crashes at the right time.
virecovery=`echo /var/tmp/vi.recover/recover.*`
if [ "${virecovery}" != "/var/tmp/vi.recover/recover.*" ]; then
for i in /var/tmp/vi.recover/recover.*; do
# Only test files that are readable.
if [ ! -r "${i}" ]; then
continue
fi
# Delete any recovery files that are zero length,
# corrupted, or that have no corresponding backup file.
# Else send mail to the user.
recfile=`awk '/^X-vi-recover-path:/{print $2}' < "${i}"`
if [ -n "${recfile}" -a -s "${recfile}" ]; then
sendmail -t < "${i}"
else
rm -f "${i}"
fi
done
