Hello again. Now I'm trying to install Qmail. Great thanks to the one who suggested "Life with Qmail". Thanks a lot.

Now my problem is with sendmail. How can I remove it from my system. Cron and smtpd is dependant of sendmail. I'm curious what happens when I remove sendmail. Will cron give up functioning or (probably) I'll tell system that the default mailer is qmail and everything will go happy?

Regards

Sorry. I forgot to ask something more. In qmails documentation it claims, tcpserver is better than inetd. First there is no package for tcpserver (like qmail). I feel a little paranoid today and I wonder what will happen again. Will they work together happily? I'm asking because inetd is called the super-server. It starts every other network process. I think tcpserver does the same thing.

You can safely remove the sendmail package from your system. Cron and other programs use a sendmail executable in /usr/sbin or /usr/lib, which qmail provides a replacement for. Just remember to link qmails sendmail binary to /usr/sbin and /usr/lib.

As long as you have an active smtp server you should be ok, it's just that sendmail is the de facto standard on most linuces. On Sat, 13 May 2000, Tuncay Baskan wrote:
