Here's how to remove binmail from your system. Don't do this if you have configured qmail to use binmail for local delivery.

  1. Find the binmail binary on your system: /usr/libexec/mail.local if that exists, otherwise /bin/mail.

  2. Remove permissions from the binmail binary:

    # chmod 0 /usr/libexec/mail.local

  3. If the binmail binary was /bin/mail, make sure that "mail" still invokes a usable mailer. Under SVR4 you may want to link mail to mailx.

  4. Comment out the comsat line in /etc/inetd.conf, and kill -HUP your inetd.
