If your not running an email server, then you can just shutoff sendmail
from even starting, since it won't be needed.  It's only for listening
to port 25 and receiving emails sent to that box anyway.

chkconfig sendmail off (or use the GUI, as in Hat/System Settings/Server
Settings/Services and uncheck it along with any other services you don't
need running).
