So you're not running the sendmail daemon.

And that says the same thing.

But when a client on the machine tries to send mail, it launches the
sendmail binary and you get the message.  You can probably get it to
happen by running 'mailx'.

If you don't want even clients to send mail, you could move the sendmail
binary aside.  Often though it's just a matter of putting the short name
in the /etc/hosts file where sendmail can find it easily.

==/etc/inet/hosts
<IP>  name.domain.com name

On current releases of Solaris 10, make sure you're keeping
/etc/inet/ipnodes in sync with /etc/inet/hosts.
