So the answer to the question is, it was misleading to test for a "public" sendmail process answering on port 25 using "localhost" because the way it's done now when sendmail_enable="NO" is that the incoming process is only bound to localhost. Sure enough, if I did the same test using the actual IP or host address, there was nothing answering on port 25. Thanks for the rtfm reminder Gregory. -- Philip J.
