Disabled Sendmail Service on FreeBSD

Disabled Sendmail Service on FreeBSD is slightly different compare to Linux. We usually disabled Sendmail Service and configure exim on FreeBSD. Sendmail service can be disabled via /etc/rc.conf.

Put these lines into /etc/rc.conf


sendmail_enable="NONE"

After that restart sendmail service


/etc/rc.d/sendmail restart

If you would like sendmail to be able to host outgoing email. Put these lines in /etc/rc.conf


sendmail_enable="NO"

After that restart sendmail service


/etc/rc.d/sendmail restart
