I would be in favor of an /etc/alternatives mechanism that used a wrapper for each MDA. That way all MTAs could depend on an MDA virtual package. You get the functionality of sensible-mda with the configurability of symlinks. Of course, I'd still override sendmail to use procmail directly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
