I would still like the root user to be able to receive e-mailed system warning messages from localhost. Will disabling Sendmail prevent that from happening?

If you disable sendmail in rc3.d or rc5.d, does it disable it completely? Or does it just disable it's ability to receive mail, but will still send mail when needed?


It will no longer be running, so you can't connect to it using SMTP, but you can still send outgoing mail by calling sendmail directly:

cat messagefile | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t
