Hi,
I have a remote server that I don't plan on using for email as I have
another server to handle that. My question is.. is it a bad idea to
_completely_ disable sendmail on that machine? Right now /etc/
rc.conf has:
sendmail_enable=NO
sendmail_submit_enable=NO
I have the same four lines in rc.conf, but that is
because I installed postfix.
If you want to disable it completely, you'd use
sendmail_enable=NONE, but you wouldn't be able
receive messages sent by crontab, syslogd, etc.

messages could be sent without the above errors? Or what?
You should allow the system to

Yes.
You probably want to allow the server to send you administrative mail
that it

Pietro,
*sendmail_enable=NONE* in your rc.conf will shutdown Sendmail
completely and globally.
Same thing with NONE instead of NO, moreover `man sendmail.rc` says
sendmail_enable
(str) If set to ``YES'', run the sendmail(8)

Hi list,
before someone begins to flame me, I'll tell you that I'm running
6.0-STABLE and that my rc.conf contains:
sendmail_enable=NO
sendmail_submit_enable=NO
sendmail_outbound_enable=NO
sendmail_msp_queue_enable=NO
In my crontab there is a job which runs every hour, and prints one
line as
=NO
sendmail_msp_queue_enable=NO
/etc/defaults/rc.conf used to (5.x?) document sendmail_enable=NONE to
completely disable sendmail. Not sure where/if it's documented now.
Once set, I believe you can disregard all the other settings.
