What's the matter with it? The 3 MTA's Fedora Core ships are configured by default to only listen on localhost and are this way not reachable from outside - independent from packet filter settings. And a question: how do you want to get i.e. the logwatch mail or information mail about failed cronjobs or something similar if not MTA service is running locally? Jim, I recommend to keep Sendmail running as it is for those reasons.
