2008/6/3 Erik Bloodaxe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Is is possible to configure sendmail to queue mail or send it directly with > out running a listner on 127.0.0.1 > > Sendmail was changed a while back to split submission and delivery so that message submission is done by a process running as an unprivileged user and delivery is done by a process running as root. So on an unmodified system you'll have a sendmail running under the user smmsp with the queue /var/spool/clientmqueue (which you can see with "mailq -Ac") and one running as root with the queue /var/spool/mqueue (which you can see with "mailq"). The submission sendmail sends messages to the other one by connecting to 127.0.0.1:25
What you're trying to do is to undo all that. It's possible, but it's not that straightforward (you'll need to seriously re-jig lots of stuff) and what you'd lose is the significant security improvement that you get with splitting sendmail the way its split. The DAEMON=no option should have been removed ages ago. jch
