Unknown log messages appearing in qmail logs

[Slacker]

Hi there,

What does this mean?

Mar 22 08:02:01 slacker sendmail[9563]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(paul): /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 0: cannot open: No such file or directory

Thanks!

It means that sendmail is trying to start but it's configuration file, /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, is missing.
If you want to use only qmail you can disable sendmail.
You can do that like this:

update-rc.d -f sendmail remove

This will just remove the symlinks from /etc/rc*.d/ that start up/shutdown sendmail.

If you want to uninstall sendmail entirely you can do:
apt-get remove sendmail

Thank you kindly good sir.

It would appear sendmail was installed as a part of apachessl or courier imap. :) I thought it was qmail doing it, but of course its not the only mta that uses /var/log/mail.log

Thanks again



Peter.
