removing smtp service

[Roberto Gallis]

Hi all,
I have to remove smtp service at port 25. I don't want anybody can use my smpt server, but I need internal mail for users run.

Anybody can help me?

If I do not start sendmail at boot, internal mail are sent?

Regards

Roberto

Hi

Ypu can disable by changing /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs :
put export SENDMAIL_SERVER=0 instead of 1.

It seems that local delivery works without
any changes. If you use "mail" command to
send your mails you can add "-d" option for
direct delivery. (see man page).
I use mail without sendmail and it's works well.

Hi,

I've already set to 0 that variable.
If system does not require sendmail to send local mail (such as mail to root from cron) I solved my problem.

Thanks all

Best regards
