Subject: RE: How to shut down
That might be a little overkill though it does the
job ;-)
Stopping running things on *nix platforms is
generally done by killing them, along with their children. "man kill"
will teach you how. Programs that start when during boot usually have
special scripts to both start and stop them, your best option is to use
them. Where they live depends on your platform and distribution, use the
supplied documentation, the man command and google to find out exactly
where. If you don't want it to run at all at bootup, disable the script
(various ways of doing that).
Kind Regards,

PS: Never turn on things for which you don't know
how to turn them off.
Unplug the power to the
server.
If that fails, I assume you would need to contact
the person that set it up. You sysadmin could allow all your email to come
thru without being scanned.
I hope that helps,
