    I've installed SuSE 8.2 with a program that requires /usr/lib/sendmail to send
    email.

    So I have to start postfix on that machine. But it also starts SMTP - and I
    don't want that! Isn't it possible to just have let it send email?

    Commenting out smtp from master.cf stops all outgoing email as well.
