As I've discussed here before, I still think that Postfix (or exim for that matter) is a big and complex footprint or someone running a workstation and using Thunderbird or Evolution as their MTA. All Postfix is doing is handling the system generated messages, and it is a HUGE overhead or that.
And? What's the problem with a tiny bit of overhead? 20 years ago it might have been an issue worth dealing with, but today it's just not of any relevance. IMHO.
Its nothing on the 2G/160G of my 17" desktop replacement laptop or even bigger machines that people have on their desks.
It does matter to the 1G/16GSSD 7" netbook. The solution seems to be to not run openSUSE.
I run postfix on a 16 year old 486DX2 with 24Mb RAM. Postfix does not present any significant overhead - uses hardly any CPU, about 6M of virtual memory and 10Mb diskspace. Surely a modern netbook can handle that too. /Per -- /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
