Re: sendmail waiting at boot time

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



sendmail is trying to identify the FQDN ie why it's
waiting 
if u want to avoid starting sendmail while booting
use
chkconfig --level 35 sendmail off

if u want to change the settings permanently in the
sendmail configuration file
edit the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and regenerate the
sendmail.cf file.. but i dont know which option go
with the sendmail.mc  

i am not a sendmail expert

so sendmail gurus please comment.

well i have a question now
can we edit the
 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
and add Dj$w.{your-domain}.. 

to avoid sendmail hanging for a while when booting..
is that the right way.. ?
