How to check wizards, debug and kill command of sendmail is available? How to disble them?

Thanks in advance

Checking the version:
# what /usr/sbin/sendmail

Sendmail is apart of the CORE/OS. If you think you require an update this is generally done via patching.
There are no wizards for sendmail. Each change is done via the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf configuration file.

Starting and stopping of the sendmail daemon is done via the standard start/stop scripts with links to /sbin/init.d/sendmail

# /sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
# /sbin/init.d/sendmail start

I forgot to mention about the debugging. you must use the -d option to activate it.

sendmail -dX (set debugging value)
See the man page for further information

what sendmail will give you the sendmail version.

For updating the sendmail version appropriate patches are to be appilied.

Sendmail can be stopped/started as

/sbin/init.d/sendmail start/stop

[Steven E. Protter]

/usr/sbin/sendmail -v -d8.99 -d38.99 targetaddress@targetdomain.net

This will give you an interactive session that will help you debug mail relay issues.

sendmail -q will try and force any mail in the outbound queue to move along.

mailq will display the mailq

sendmail -d will allow for other debugging issues.
