Configuring Linux - Keeping only the necessary Daemons

Schancky,
Unix and linux use their mail daemons for multiple systems purposes as well as routing mail from place to place.
Some distributions allow you to configure your mail for a standalone, no networked env. This is a safer bet than trying to disable mail.
If you have more than one mail server(sendmail and postfix say) installed then you can uninstall the one you do not want (rpm -e) Like patel said: See the man pages (rpm ,sendmail) for more info.
