Stop the service, disable it from starting and/or uninstall it.

[tiarra]

sendmail seems to be off at the same time.

Sounds like something needs to be tweaked in the way that /bin/mail queues a message. You're getting a "pop-up sendmail". Like /etc/alternatives/mta on Red Hat - or /etc/mail/mail.conf on FreeBSD.. not sure how else it might be done.
