Please note that the default-mta as shipped by Debian (exim4) in its default configuration is not sending mails "to the internet" at all. If your LSB-based assumption is that you can invoke sendmail to send mails to anyone, then it is not fulfilled by default-mta either. So, taking a step back, sendmail, as currently shipped by default-mta, only ensures that mails are sent to local users. In that context, I see many uses for a sendmail erroring out instead of an working sendmail piling mails in local mboxes never read by anyone. (But I wrote I wouldn't stand in the way, hereby shutting up. :-p ) Cheers, OdyX -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
