Hi everyone, Taking the questions regarding my routing boxes one step further, I have strict rules that allow only certain control and management protocols to communicate on the network. Although SMTP is denied, I just realized that there are numerous messages from periodic scripts that are queued up that can't be sent. Can someone advise how to find out each and every periodic script that tries to send out email (given a standard install), and/or how to disable this? Or, is there a way to completely cripple a FreeBSD machine, so the system actually realizes that it can not send any email, and everything it tries to send email will realize this? (preferably a more subtle approach than simply rm'ing the sendmail binary :) Steve
