hi
i guess there is some way to tell sendmail not to jump up immediately every
time a line arrives.
(could it be that you have enabled sendmail responses in inetd.conf?)
normally, the options for running sendmail as a standalone daemaon are
sendmail -bd -om, and running sendmail -q from cron.
There is another possibility, though: use the store-and-foreward mail proxy
smtpd/smtpfwdd
rpm is available e g at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/i386/full-names/i386
this proxy does not actually send the mails, but queues them (like rmail).
and it is very, VERY much easier and more extensively configurable than
sendmail (e g you can set rules on a per-user or per-host or per-recipient
(etc) base for allowing, disallowing etc mails.
then run sendmail from cron as you please.
try it out!
