Configuring sendmail for send only
I'm running a separate mail server for my users, but I still need an MTA for a local mailer. I want sendmail to be able to send mail out from localhost only, but refuse incoming mail. Is there a quick and easy way to do this?

If you had only a handful of terminals to change, A quick way would be to set it on another port like 26. Set your local mail delivery to port 26 on all stations. Internet servers would not see it at all.

Well, I went into /etc/services and told smtp to use port 26 instead of 25. From that point, any outgoing message sat in the mail que in locked status. Even if I tried to flush the queue manually, it wouldn't let me. Did I miss something?
