-
- Sure. You put
-
- smtp stream tcp nowait /usr/lib/sendmail sendmail -bs
-
- in your inetd.conf file. But beware, you will lose the semantics of
- sendmail.cf options x, X, and Y if you do this. Also, you will have
- to run a "sendmail -q30m" from rc.local or run "sendmail -q" from cron.
-
- Running sendmail from inetd is a bad idea.
