[SunHELP] sendmail

[Vipul Bhadra]

Dont delete it .. Just "#" it.  Also programs wont use Sendmail .. Sendmail
is a MTA .. utilities rather use the comamnd-line "mail" utility to do
mailing (in MUA mode)

Hello Vipul,
sendmail starts with the entry in the rc3.d.
I can delete it there and when the server starts, it will not run.
But can i do this without new problems with other standard-programs.

It seems to be to easy only to "dont start sendmail"

Hi Paul,

As i said ..iam a linux user hence the name conflict.
Why dont u try searching thru one of ur init scripts to see if it is
starting from there. Instead of editing sendmail conf file better stop it
altogether (if it is running ) .. or as u rightly said ... check AT or other
cron daemons.

Hello Vipul,
there is no file sendmail.conf on my machine.
And the Computername has an entry in the /etc/hosts at the first place after
the ip-adress.

Are there any system-services which use sendmail (maybe the cron ..)
I think that i dont need sendmail. But i dont know wether there are Problms
with other Systemservices when there is no sendmail. (sorry for my bad
english)

Hi paul,

Although iam a linux user but still would like to share a few thoughts with
u.
Stop the sendmail altogether .... the error message can be stopped by
editing the sendmail.conf file (ad putting ur hostname in the /etc/hosts
file)

Regards,
Vipul

Hello,
i have to ultrasparc 10 server with Solaris 7
Normaly i dont use sendmail

On the first i have often the folloing messages:
Mar 15 17:31:30 ISTASUN1 sendmail[8087]: My unqualified host name (ISTASUN1)
unknown; sleeping for retry
Mar 15 17:32:30 ISTASUN1 sendmail[8087]: unable to qualify my own domain
name
(ISTASUN1) -- using short name
Mar 15 18:01:32 ISTASUN1 sendmail[8111]: My unqualified host name (ISTASUN1)
unknown; sleeping for retry
Mar 15 18:02:32 ISTASUN1 sendmail[8111]: unable to qualify my own domain
name
(ISTASUN1) -- using short name

 How can i stop this.

On the second machine it looks like this:
Mar 19 02:07:18 gerasun1 sendmail[6194]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): dbm map
"Alias0": unsafe map file /etc/mail/aliases
Mar 19 02:22:18 gerasun1 sendmail[6195]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): dbm map
"Alias0": unsafe map file /etc/mail/aliases
Mar 19 02:37:18 gerasun1 sendmail[6196]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): dbm map
"Alias0": unsafe map file /etc/mail/aliases

How can i stop this.

Are there configuration files to edit so that i can give sendmail what it is
missing ??

Thanks for help.
