[TriLUG] startup scripts, sendmail

Hi,

I am in the process of installing Qmail on my Red Hat 7
system, and I'm having trouble finding specifically where to
alter my startup scripts to neuter the command to start up
sendmail (which Qmail is replacing).

The Qmail instructions say:
"
Here's how to remove sendmail from your system.

1. Find sendmail in your boot scripts. It's usually in
either /etc/rc or
   /etc/init.d/sendmail. It looks like
           sendmail -bd -q15m
   -q15m means that it should run the queue every 15
minutes; you may
   see a different number. Comment out this line.
"

I have not found a line like that in the several scripts
I've examined.

Any hints?

Thank you,
Rich Hammer
