Trond, Chris, Michael,
Y'all all basically replied:
Read the release notes - they're even available during installation.
Yeah, OK. However, it's 300+ lines down in a document that's nowhere on
the installed system, not listed by "rpm -ql sendmail" or "rpm -qd
sendmail" or referenced in the Sendmail section of the [supposedly v7.1]
Reference Guide.
My second point was, and remains, this:
Given that this is radically non-standard behavior for sendmail, good
documentation practice would be to at least have a README.RedHat in the
/usr/share/sendmail-cf directory. Preferably along with all the
documentation set that comes with sendmail.org's package.
And my first point remains unanswered. What's the point of even
installing sendmail if you break it on purpose? This is email! That sort
of demands extra-local functionality. The ability to retrieve email
across a network is considered to be a basic service of a networked OS.
I'd like to see a readily available networked mode. Maybe update anaconda
with a "Mail Server" group or just a "sendmail-server*" rpm that changes
sendmail.cf. Better yet, fix the default.
Am I really out to lunch on this? Am I the only one on the list that
thinks not letting mail in is insane?
