Bug 30057

Summary:	sendmail_outbound_enable from rc.conf is confusing
Product:	Base System	Reporter:	Rob Simmons <rsimmons>
Component:	conf	Assignee:	Gregory Neil Shapiro <gshapiro>
Status:	Closed FIXED
Severity:	Affects Only Me

Description Rob Simmons 2001-08-24 21:50:00 UTC

When sendmail_outbound_enable is set to YES, sendmail_enable should be
automagically set to NO.  Otherwise, if you set outbound to YES and delete
your sendmail_enable="NO" you still get sendmail started with -bd

Fix: 

Maybe only have one config option, with "YES", "NO", and "OUTBOUND" or some
such thing.
How-To-Repeat: See above

I don't think this should be changed.  It's meant to be a cascading 
feature.  If sendmail_enable is set to yes, sendmail_outbound_enable 
is ignored.  If sendmail_enable is set to no, sendmail_outbound_enable 
at least makes sure outgoing mail stuck in the queue gets delivered. 

There is also sendmail_submit_enable which makes sure there is a 
submit daemon to take local mail from the command line.  Perhaps this 
is the -bd daemon you are seeing.  See /etc/mail/README and `man rc.sendmail` 
for more information about it.
