I have just discovered that I am root on a machine running sendmail,
and it is in a standard configuration - i.e. it can send mail to the
Internet. I don't want to be responsible to keeping sendmail safe and
secure (I already have a full-time and a part-time job). Is there a
good, brief tutorial that will help me lock sendmail down to local
delivery only? Thanks.
By the way, I appreciate the advice to install postfix|exim|qmail, but
that's not what I want. If I had unrestricted (from an administrative
point of view) control over this machine this conversation wouldn't
happen. What I don't know is how to neuter sendmail.

yours,
