Hi list, before someone begins to flame me, I'll tell you that I'm running 6.0-STABLE and that my rc.conf contains: sendmail_enable=3D"NO" sendmail_submit_enable=3D"NO" sendmail_outbound_enable=3D"NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable=3D"NO" In my crontab there is a job which runs every hour, and prints one line as output. This output should be mailed to me, but since I disabled sendmail, I guess it should get lost (which is what I'd want). Anyway, lost or not, I don't want to have it mailed to me, nor I want sendmail to bug my ttyv0 with such messages: sendmail[<pid>] My unqualified host name [<my host name>] unknown. Sleeping for retry sendmail[<pid>] unable to qualify my own domain name (<my host name>) -- using short name My box is not a part of a domain, so the errors are justified, but this shows that sendmail is not completely disabled on my system... Now, I could solve this by redirecting the output of my job to /dev/null, but I don't see it as a smart solution. Any ideas?
