Re: Sendmail and intraprocess communication
I have never heard of that -> "...system will break some intraprocess communications..."
I have 10.20 servers without sendmail running and they aren't "broken".
Check with the person that made that statement, maybe they can clarify it.

Re: Sendmail and intraprocess communication
To restrict port 25 to loopback interface, set these in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=localhost
O PrivacyOptions=goaway,restrictqrun
To configure sendmail as a client to forward all messages to another server, you may either set the SENDMAIL_SERVER_NAME in /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs to the desired hostname, or in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf set DS, DH, and DM to $m (where DNS will resolve the MX records for the local domain). I recommend the latter as the former does not set DS, only DH and DM.
Review this for more details:

Re: Sendmail and intraprocess communication
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
Then:
vi /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs and change:
export SENDMAIL_SERVER=1
to
export SENDMAIL_SERVER=0
Now, sendmail will no longer start on reboot and you don't have to change anything in /sbin.

Re: Sendmail and intraprocess communication
On both HPUX10.20 and HPUX11.00, I can modify /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs so that SENDMAIL_SERVER=0. Then, if I put in a cronjob (perhaps in root's crontab) that calls sendmail with the -q option, the system will no longer be running sendmail in daemon mode but will still process both local mail as well as outbound mail.
Using this method will keep me from having to modify anything in /sbin/rc*.d and /sbin/init.d which is good because they may be changed during a patch.
Do need to change anything in sendmail.cf?
Thanks everyone for your help.
