Smiliehi all,

sorry for bring up this thread.
I happen to encounter this setup below

Code:
 
 disabled       Jan_23   svc:/network/sendmail-client:default
online         Jan_23   svc:/network/smtp:sendmail

 ps -ef | grep sendmail
    root  2838  2101   0   Jan 23 ?           0:49 /usr/lib/sendmail -bl -q15m
  oracle 25537  9002   0 20:42:07 pts/2       0:00 grep sendmail

There is also no mailhost set in the /etc/hosts nor DNS (using nslookup) and yet I can still send out email using mailx from that server.

There is a local sendmail daemon listening at port 25 though.


Does it means

1) when sendmail-client service is disabled, it just means that there will be no daemon to push the mclientqueue but mailx will still spawn a sendmail process as a msp and read the submit.cf

2) having no mailhost define in /etc/hosts and dns, and a sendmail daemon (MTA) listening at local port 25, can I say that the local sendmail MTA directly
resolve the next hop to the actual mailserver of the recipient / sending out without going through a relay ?

Regards,
NoobSmilieSmilieSmilie
