That's right you can't keep sendmail from starting. postfix is not a replacement for sendmail, it's an add-on for its own version of sendmail which is pretty far out of date as compared to sendmail 8.12.9. postfix is what starts up sendmail for you as part of its operating process. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
