Subject: [FW1] Stopping mdq When No Rules In Policy Deal With Mail



Environment:  Solaris 2.6   FW-1 V4.0   SP4

I notice that on the firewall module host the fwd pid starts up a process
called "mdq" which I believe stands for "Mail DeQueuer".  None of my rules
in the loaded policy have anything to do with smtp/pop directly (i.e. I am
not using the smtp security server nor have I ever loaded a policy that
needed it).  If I kill the mdq process fwd starts it up again.  How do I get
rid of this beast permanently?  I can see no reason as to why it should be
running  (not only that it eats 47M of memory).

xxx-tmp[7]% ps -ef
    root   369     1  0   Oct 18 ?       50:47 fwd 9.7.2.8 1.3.2.2 +1.3.2.2
    root   377   369  0   Oct 18 ?        0:28 mdq

Thanks.
