[CentOS] run without sendmail
I'm running centos on a limited environment. Is it ok to turn off sendmail and run without it. Are there issues with doing that or is all Ok. Thanks, Jerry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] run without sendmail
The machine will run fine. The question is do you need it to send you email for alerting reasons? On Mon, 19 Sep 2011, Jerry Geis wrote: I'm running centos on a limited environment.

No - there are no alerts from this particular device that I need/want. jerry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Mail delivery can still work with sendmail turned off. The daemon is just there to receive mail. This guy explains it better than I can: http://www.deer-run.com/~hal/sysadmin/sendmail.html There's no reason to turn the MTA on unless you're running a mail server. Non-mail servers should just have a cron job flushing the submission queue just in case, but the MTA itself doesn't need to run. -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd (04) 460-2531 : (021) 295-1923 www.knossos.net.nz signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
