I want do disable sendmail on my machine to increase security, and
because I don't use my computer as a mailserver.  I have a question
about disabling it though.  If I disable sendmail will I still be able
to send mail to other users on the same machine, like those security
check messages that root gets every night?  Is there a way to make
sendmail refuse incoming connections while still allowing mail to be
sent locally?
