I've installed SuSE 8.2 with a program that requires /usr/lib/sendmail to send email.
So I have to start postfix on that machine. But it also starts SMTP - and I don't want that! Isn't it possible to just have let it send email?
Commenting out smtp from master.cf stops all outgoing email as well.
Uhhh sending email is done using the smtp protocol. So if you don't have it, no mail gets sent. What you don't want is outsiders getting into your machine using smtp protocol, and that's the job of a firewall. Nothing wrong with running smtp internally to your network/machine. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
