That wasn't the question! The question is how to stop the symptom -- he
doesn't seem to care about the actual condition. I'll bet there are
several people here that are qualified to try to help diagnose the
cause, but he hasn't told us what happened when the problem started.

So far he hasn't even given us a 'ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail-msp' with
which to start. Without even that much, I'm not making guesses as to
what's going on. I'm sticking to the original question of stopping mail.

Is anyone up for a "how to stop getting email" thread? I'll start!

1) Sever the network link. Two words: hedge clippers.
