: When local processes want to mail, they fork n exec a sendmail binary : themselves. : : You shouldn't need a sendmail server running for that.
Here is what I have/had in rc.conf #sendmail_enable="no" #sendmail_submit_enable="no" #sendmail_outbound_enable="no" #sendmail_msp_queue_enable="no" And as soon as I restarted after commenting out these lines, root's mailbox got filled with megs of mail from cron. I want the minimum I need to get system mail without leaving an instance of sendmail vulnerable to attack or eating up resources. p.s. What mail reader is good for root mail? Is there anything better at managing system mail than mutt? jm -- My other computer is your Windows box. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
