TMA-AIX-4.3.2.12
Ensure sendmail is not in use
Description
The sendmail daemon means that the system can operate as a mail server. sendmail is a service with many historical vulnerabilities and where possible should be disabled. Unless a system is specifically designated to act as a mail server, it is recommended that the sendmail fileset be removed to reduce the potential attack surface. Audit: the sendmail start line in /etc/rc.tcpip must be commented out and the sendmail subsystem must not be active.
