No. We do not start daemons when you install them and neither do we stop them when uninstalled. That's your job. We won't second guess the sysadmin/user. > 2) /etc/init.d/sendmail should redirect to /var/log/messages instead of > /dev/null so we can SEE the sendmail error about not binding to port 25. You should check the logs. Sendmail logs the startup errors. > Actually, you'd want to do the right thing based on syslog/syslog-ng etc, > ideally. And that's way too fragile. > 3) rm -rf /var/spool/postfix would be most welcome as well No. There might still be undelivered mail in there. |
