Hi there,
as Anssi made me aware msec currently has a Requires on
sendmail-command for cauldron, this was the outcome of the
last discussion about msec / MTA.
However, currently in /etc/urpmi/prefer.vendor.list postfix
is preferred as sendmail-command and mail-server.
Anssi's vote and mine is to replace preference on postfix
with dma to ensure users get dma installed with the
upgrade from Mageia 1 -> 2 and not postfix which needs
configuration.
What configuration ?
AFAIK, Postfix work out of the box for the use case of msec/cron, mail
sent to root are delivered to root mailbox, unless someone added a
aliase.
> From a quick look at dma, it behave the same ( ie, it take aliase from
the same file, thus requiring the same configuration, or needing the
same declaration of a smart host ).
Wouldn't it be better to send everything to /var/log if no mta are
found ?
( ie, do something like that :
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NoMTA ). We have the proper
version of cronie ( I hope ), so what prevent us ?
msec already sends everything also to /var/log, which was disregarded
in last discussion because normal users don't look there and it
slowly adds up on diskspace.
