To disable sendmail and send mail

[vkostovic]

I am running Solaris 2.6 2.7 and 2.8.
Due to Sendmail Header Processing Buffer Overflow vulnerability I would like to disable/stop sendmail daemon. I do not have sendmail server.

Is it possible to send email if the sendmail daemon is stopped and if it is possible, do I need to do any additional reconfiguration?

Thanks a lot.

You could just apply the necessary patches:

btw. if you do decide to patch; do remember to keep a copy of your main-vsun.mc file before you begin ...
