Hi Pietro,
Setting the 4 sendmail*_enable variables to NO as you've done will prevent
any sendmail daemons from running. However, it doesn't stop anything from
directly invoking /usr/sbin/sendmail - which is what cron does when it
wants to send some mail. When sendmail is invoked this way it will try to
deliver the mail according to its submit.cf configuration file.
You should be able to disable any email sending from cron by adding a
MAILTO=""
line to your crontab file. It might still be a good idea to fix your
sendmail configuration so you can actually send mail from this system.
Cheers,
Scott
