SENDMAIL service

[agomez1966]

Help:

I need to disable the sendmail service in my unix box, since I have an open relay (smtp), that server is not doing e-mail, but the service is running .Any ideas on how can I disable that service.

Thanks in advance..

This is an extract from a posting by Bill Hassell

Changing scripts in /sbin/init.d (/sbin/rc*.d contains only symlinks). To turn off (or on) subsystems and applications, you edit the configuration scripts located in /etc/rc.config.d. So to disable sendmail:

/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop

Then:

vi /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs and change:

export SENDMAIL_SERVER=1
to
export SENDMAIL_SERVER=0

Now, sendmail will no longer start on reboot and you don't have to change anything in /sbin.
