[CentOS] run without sendmail

The machine will run fine. The question is do you need it to send you
email for alerting reasons?

Thanks - I thought it would be ok - but just wanted to check.
No - there are no alerts from this particular device that I need/want.

Mail delivery can still work with sendmail turned off. The daemon is
just there to receive mail.

This guy explains it better than I can:

There's no reason to turn the MTA on unless you're running a mail
server. Non-mail servers should just have a cron job flushing the
submission queue just in case, but the MTA itself doesn't need to run.
