Subject: How do I disabling majordomo temporarily?

Hi All,

How do I disabling majordomo? I do not want to uninstall it as it  
will probably break the RAQ interface. Just stop it working with  
sendmail so there is no way it can be used to spam.

I'm running a RAQ 3 with majordomo installed for a few years. I've  
never used majordomo or even turned it on through the RAQ interface.

About 2 months ago I've started to get a lot of chatter in my logs:

Followed by SPAM email and the followed by:

ETC.

I'm pretty sure I'm not spamming anyone?

I just want to disabling majordomo without uninstall it, as I said  
before, it will probably break the RAQ interface if I do.

Many thanks.

Regards,

C.Teton
