What is the minimum configuration necessary to receive local mail? I have a small home network. I have a server running qmail which handles all my email. I use Kmail as my email client, connecting to qmail via POP3 and SMTP. The problem is that I do not receive output from local cron jobs.
I've emerged procmail and mailutils but if those are sufficient to do the job, they apparently require other than the default configuration. Trying to send an email to a local user via mail -t errors out because sendmail is not installed. Everything I can find on the web talks about configuring an MTA. Is it necessary to install a full fledged MTA (sendmail, qmail, exim, etc) in order to handle local mail delivery? All I'm trying to do is handle local (this box only) mail messages. Anything sent to other than a local account will go through the SMTP server. -- [email protected] mailing list
