Sendmail - massive logs

[Gareth Bailey]

Hi All,

I have found that my /var dir is filling up with logs caused by sendmail. I 
have no desire to use sendmail at the moment, and would like to turn it off 
completely (including logs).

How might i do this. Presently, I have the following line in my rc.conffile.

sendmail_enable=NONE

Please advise,

Thanks
Gareth

That's the way to do it.

Now if you want to avoid any log, you must make sure you are not
trying to send any email either, that is no cron, no periodic, no
nothing. Because all these do send result by email, which means
sendmail by default.

Bests,

Olivier

Just to be (a little more) clear:
these defaults can be changed.  
For example, setting daily_output, weekly_output, and monthly_output
in your periodic.conf can send the output to files instead of as mail
messages.
