    Hello,

    When no sendmail program is running, do:

    # cd /etc/rc.d
    # ./sendmail start
    Starting sendmail.
    554 5.3.5 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 279: Unknown address family inet6 in Family=option
    # ls /var/run/sendmail.pid
    ls: /var/run/sendmail.pid: No such file or directory
    # ./sendmail stop
    sendmail not running? (check /var/run/sendmail.pid).
    # ps awux | grep sendmail
    smmsp 881 0.0 8.4 3320 2356 ?? Is 2:44AM 0:00.02 sendmail: Queue runner@00:30:00
               for /var/spool/clientmqueue (sendmail

    (I have disabled IPv6 support for kernel and world)

    Apparently sendmail keeps running, even after being stopped.
    Moreover, the sendmail script does not create a /var/run/sendmail.pid.

    Is this a bug?

    Rob.
