Re: error when starting sendmail
So you mean to say that there is no need to restart the sendmail deamon.

Re: error when starting sendmail
Yes, you do not need 'sendmail', because as Jimmy Vance said that Postfix is already running, and you either need 'postfix' or 'sendmail', and you cant run both simultaneously, because both are the SMTP server.
and you should stop sendmail
and also make sure that sendmail must not run automatically at system startup, via
# chkconfig sendmail off

Maaz

Re: error when starting sendmail
Start your own thread, and explain what
you're doing?

Re: error when starting sendmail
When you do start your own thread, it might
help if you also reveal something about your
system, and a few details like:
Did sendmail ever work? If so, what changed?
Did you look at the system log file(s)?
Did I already suggest starting your own
thread? You should start your own thread.
