And ISTR there's a make.conf option too, isn't there? Have a look at /etc/mail/mailer.conf and the associated man page. It's quite possible that there's magic in the Makefile for the Exim port to update mailer.conf for you. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

While we're on the subject, how do I stop sendmail starting, and sow salt on the inodes so nothing grows there again? I want exim instead. I grepped quickly through /etc/defaults/rc.conf and didn't see anything obvious. And ISTR there's a make.conf option too, isn't there?

I agree - I ended up adding FEATURE(`no_default_msa') to my respected *.mc file.

Turning off submission (587) port
Folks, I would prefer to shut this port down if I can. I'm unsure if and how it can/do it. Other then that, would there be an effective ipfw rule that would block this? If the above needs recompiling sendmail, then I would certainly prefer the latter. -- Best regards, Chris -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
