Unable to enable sendmail in Virtuzzo Power Panel (VZPP)

The exact issue :

Unable to enable sendmail using “Virtuzzo -> system services -> xinetd (tab) -> sendmail” section.

This is mainly occurring due to one entry /etc/xinetd.d/sendmail file. In order to fix this issue, do the following:

Modify :
service smtp
{
disable=yes
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
group = root
server = /usr/sbin/sendmail
server_args = -bs -Am
nice = 5
instances = 10
}

Modify it to :

service smtp
{
disable=no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
group = root
server = /usr/sbin/sendmail
server_args = -bs -Am
nice = 5
instances = 10
}

restart the xinetd using:

Verify the sendmail status using “Virtuzzo -> system services -> xinetd (tab) -> sendmail”. You can see that the status of sendmail now changed to “enabled”.
