[qmail] / REMOVE.binmail

Here's how to remove binmail from your system. Don't do this if you have
configured qmail to use binmail for local delivery.


1. Find the binmail binary on your system: /usr/libexec/mail.local if
   that exists, otherwise /bin/mail.

2. Remove permissions from the binmail binary:
      # chmod 0 /usr/libexec/mail.local

3. If the binmail binary was /bin/mail, make sure that ``mail'' still
   invokes a usable mailer. Under SVR4 you may want to link mail to
   mailx.

4. Comment out the comsat line in /etc/inetd.conf, and kill -HUP your
   inetd.
