I have seen boxes with things like daily > run reports that have sat in mailq for 5 months. Since /usr/sbin/sendmail IMHO that's evidence that there is a user interface problem. Lots of times you have a machine where you just want to disable email entirely (example: test machine sitting on a test network).. people think that sendmail_enable="NO" is the way to do this. Perhaps there should be an email_enable="NO" knob that disables sendmail and the emails from the daily/weekly/monthly runs. -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Packet Design * http://www.packetdesign.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
