It works without dual sendmail
Authored by: nirs on Jun 17, '02 03:31:23PM

I using sendmail for sending mail localy and to the outside world (using Mail.app through 127.0.0.1), and I did not add the secod sendamil with the -C /etc/mail/submit.cf argument.

And it does not take forever to initilize, only few minutes, and this can be fixed with starting sendmail in the background. On the sendmail startup script, /System/library/Startupitems/Sendmail/Sendmail, put & after the sendmail command, like this:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q1h &

I tested this on two macs, both running 10.1.5.
I dont use sendmail as my LAN smtp mail server, so I dont know if it will work.
