Yesterday I was finally ready to tackle the problem of sendmail dialing my provider every now and then: for missed cron jobs, daily reports, weekly reports etc. Really an ehaustive topic, given the messages this has generated over time. I now disabled sendmail until I really need it but in doing so I came across the question how to flush the sendmail queue. Man sendmail did not indicate anything to that effect (or I was temporarily blind). TIA, Michael P.S. I did manage to prevent messages to root from triggering a dial out by including root in the list of local users in sendmail.cf. Any comments on that anybody? I'm not sure I know what I'm doing to be honest but since I don't have a full installation I cannot go through the suggested m4 processing, and the part of the sendmail source that's supposed to be separately available for just this purpose (according to http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ137.html#137) is not, at least not from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/3.2-RELEASE/src/. If anybody could point me to the right source I'd appreciate it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
