Re: sendmail does seem to stop
The daemon can be stopped.
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
When the daemon is down, the sendmail binary can still be used to send email. The components you are talking about probably use a sendmail or elm or other smtp type script to send mail.
That will work unless you change permissions on the sendmail binary.
See attached scripting example. This script will work even when the daemon is down.
In reality the daemon accepts connections. It doesn't handle outbound connections.

Re: sendmail does seem to stop
I undestand that..
Now if I want to change content of my .cf file, I need to restart sendmail to apply changes..
Without stopping it, my changes are not reflecting...

Re: sendmail does seem to stop
you can check if the process is stopped by "ps -ef | grep sendmail "
"/sbin/init.d/sendmail start" to start the sendmail after the changes you made in .cf file

Re: sendmail does seem to stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
if you are changing something which only affects you sending email, like the smart relay server (i.e. the line starting with letters DS), then you do not need to cycle the sendmail daemon. Although, it is a good practice to recycle it using the commands above, as sometimes, one directive may affect bot incoming and outgoing connections.
Hope this helps
