Mail delivery can still work with sendmail turned off. The daemon is just there to receive mail. This guy explains it better than I can: http://www.deer-run.com/~hal/sysadmin/sendmail.html There's no reason to turn the MTA on unless you're running a mail server. Non-mail servers should just have a cron job flushing the submission queue just in case, but the MTA itself doesn't need to run. -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd (04) 460-2531 : (021) 295-1923 www.knossos.net.nz -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
