Why fight it? A sendmail daemon has been part of *nix forever, like cron and lots of other stuff. It's the way the os works. Let your installer install one, then edit the config so the MTA aliases everything to a pipe to /dev/null -- if you're really, *really* sure you don't want to know about it when the kernel determines that the world will end in 5 minutes... You can easily block port 25 in both directions on the external interface if all you need to do is cut off the MTA's communication with the outside world. - -- Glenn English g...@slsware.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknkvl0ACgkQ04yQfZbbTLZXtACghQPHVkBFIkCzLsic8/1FkOtG UMkAn0z6DK9QohonW6dkxRH7UaHv86EW =mpe0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
