I installed sendmail on ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop computer. My php mail() function still doesn't work from localhost, so I want to disable the auto start up of mail transport agent during system boot.

How do I disable the auto start up of the mail transport agent?

Thanks

sudo update-rc.d sendmail disable

But I don't see how this is going to help your non-working mail() function.

Perhaps he found an alternative like a SMTP server somewhere else he could use and he is just trying to clean up? – Zoredache Nov 6 '09 at 1:53
thanks, that worked. Actually, I'll ask about the mail function another time. I couldn't get sendmail working on my localhost, so i figured I'll get rid of it for now because it was slowing down my system boot up. – John Nov 6 '09 at 4:55
