I tried installing a different mail server (via an RPM), and now my machine
hhangs when booting at the "Starting Sendmail" line.  I was able to use
interactive boot to bypass that line, but now I need to know how to disable
sendmail from trying to start at boot. I'm assuming there's a config file
somewhere?  Maybe in /boot? Could someone help out with details?  Thanks.

To disable sendmail:
chkconfig --level 12345 sendmail off

To remove sendamail:
rpm -qa | grep sendmail

do "rpm -e" on the list produced above -- N.B. There WILL be some
dependencies.

Also, you may also need to reset the system default MTA -- with redhet
it's something like system-config-mail.  I forget the exact command.
