Hello Everyone, I would really appreciate your assistance on this matter.
We disabled sendmail on our server (V480 w/ Solaris 9), but we still get this error messages. It seems like there is an appliction sending mail to our server or an application sending messages from our server. This message occur during startup. Please explain.
I also found this comment on the web when I googled the error messages:
since version 8.12.1 (8.12.0 ?) sendmail complains if a program piping
data to it doesn't have stdin, stdout and stderr opened; smtpfwdd(8)
doesn't open stdout and stderr when forwarding a mail to sendmail,
therefore an anoying system messages is generated for each incoming mail
Can anyone help me find a way to make this log go away?
