Hi,
How do I disable sendmail permanently? I checked /sbin/rc3.d, I
found a s40sendmail -- so is disable. But when I check the process,
this is what I got:
root 3018 32.0 0.1 1.59M 344k ?? U 07:59:57 0:01.20
/usr/lib/sendmail -om -oi -oo -fMAILER-DAEMON yeo
daemon 3315 9.0 0.4 4.77M 968k ?? S 07:59:55 0:00.79
/usr/bin/inetgrecv yeobl
root 3735 6.0 0.1 1.61M 304k ?? U 07:59:59 0:00.16
/usr/lib/sendmail -om -oi -oo -fMAILER-DAEMON yeo
root 1461 1.0 0.1 1.68M 328k ?? S 07:59:55 0:00.14
/usr/lib/sendmail -om -oi -oo -fMAILER-DAEMON yeo
I was told that yeobl doesn't exist anymore. I try to stop the
process by issuing /sbin/rc3.d/s40sendmail stop. What I got is another
new daemon started and all the previous daemon got killed. So, how do I
stop sendmail?
Thanks,
SMF

The sendmail daemon that is started in rc3.d runs as
sendmail -bd -q15m (for example)
and handles incoming SMTP mail as well as anything that is in the
outgoing mail queue (deferred deliveries). The processes you listed in
.0 are for mail that originated on your system either directly or via
incoming DECnet mail from mail11dv3. (In fact, they seem to be bounced
messages).
To stop mail11dv3, you may have to turn off DECnet altogether. I'm not
sure.
Many mail clients (e.g., dxmail) call sendmail for delivery, so you
can't avoid that without disabling those clients and all outgoing mail
as well. To do that, rename /usr/sbin/sendmail to something else.
What you'll be left with is a system that behaves in a very peculiar
way, especially for any users or processes that depend on mail.

I think this should do it :- ncl disable session control application mail11 ncl delete session control application mail11 then edit /var/dna/create_session_control_applications.ncl and comment out the create and set that match the mail11 application Cheers Mark :) | |||||
