I'm not really in the giving-a-crap camp for the MTA or not but: that seems like a bit of odd logic. The logs are emitted to syslog with the same thought in mind - that someone will read them - but that is also not necessarily true. But I would not want to see us discarding syslog, either. -sv -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
