Summary: Review Request: msmtp - an SMTP client https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=243631 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-06-22 19:30 EST ------- * Fri Jun 22 2007 Nikolay Vladimirov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 1.4.12-4 - not using alternatives Spec URL: http://ns.bgtld.net/build/msmtp.spec SRPM URL: http://ns.bgtld.net/build/msmtp-1.4.12-4.fc7.src.rpm also source file in the srpm is with the correct timestamp. The main problem with msmtp is that if it replaces sendmail it brakes all local mail deliveries(that's not good). That includes syslog. Msmtp just takes the mail from a MUA and relays it to a smtp server it doesn't really transports it; the only destination is an smtp server. So there must be a configuration file with account for every user(that uses mail) and an smtp server to send mail to. Else sending mail just doesn't work. So if there is entry for msmtp in alternatives and it's selected as system mta. All mail delivery will be broken unless there is a valid configuration file(must be written by the sys admin). So as I said before the risk of breaking things if msmtp is system mta is big. I'll leave the provides for sendmail because of mutt and remove the use of alternatives it's just not useful. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list [email protected] http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
