First, has anyone stated that sendmail doesnt' even need to be on if you
don't want it to run and accept email as a server? If it's not on (as in
the service in daemon mode isn't started) then does the security part
regarding only accepting email via localhost compared to internet even
matter? Why can't sendmail be configured to accept mail and not just
localhost but the service not be started on default installs and if you then
want to run a mail server you setup it up for your domain and start the
service? That's the only reason to run the service anyway isn't it as
sending email is only using the binary?
Second off, are we quite done yet with this topic? Is RedHat going to
change the configuration of sendmail at all or are they waiting to see if
anyone makes valid points to decide? Otherwise this is getting old news and
has been drug out long enough one way or the other although I did bring up
one last point above just because I haven't seen it discussed yet.
Why don't we change the topic to something more interesting, like when first
beta of next release comes out next? (that ought to get a frenzy started
LOL)
