Disabling sendmail

Hello everyone,
can anyone tell me how to disable sendmail on solaris 10?

I seem to have the sendmail process from hell. Did an SVCS | grep for mail and disabled the 2 processes it threw up. But something is still respawning sendmail (if I kill it manually) and it's doing the usual complaint about it's DNS and not being able to fully qualify it's domain.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Martin
