If you're using qmail, there's no such thing as a 'submit' mail queue --- qmail is "all in one" like sendmail used to be. So turning off this report doesn't lose you anything at all. > Anyway I found sendmail submit or other option sendmail in (/etc/default/rc.conf) > for new version FreeBSD, Before this, I use FreeBSD 4.6 STABLE, > I didn't found this option. So this utilities for what..? Yes --- this is a new feature in sendmail, imported into FreeBSD around March 2002 (which was between 4.5-RELEASE and 4.6-RELEASE actually). The sendmail functionality has been divided between two processes: sm-msp, the Mail Submission Process and sm-mta, the Mail Transport Agent. This means that the sendmail binary no-longer needs to be SUID root. See http://www.sendmail.org/%7Eca/email/doc8.12/SECURITY for a fuller explanation.
