Gill-

There was a recent security bulletin about sendmail vulnerabilities on unix
platforms-- so some shops are removing it and relying on FTP and other
utilities. I think on AIX it is a default part of the install-

Sorry for sending this here but I know there are a lot of AIX folks out
there listening so I thought I'd ask here. The TSM server is mine, along
with the AIX O/S. Been to a few classes to get some knowledge but still
learning to say the least.

By deafult how is mail set up on AIX after an install? Are there any
security configuration changes I should make? The server is only used for
TSM, with so far, nothing but local mail notifications although I might be
implementing something to send notifications outbound at some point.

Thanks,
