Sorry for confusing MUA and MTA. I meant MTA. An MTA is actually not needed either, at least not according to dependencies.
I think the key thing is that postfix provides /usr/sbin/sendmail which is used/needed by many scripts and daemons. (cron, mdadmd, snmp, etc). I thought we had <something> that meant sendmail was required, but could be provided by postfix, sendmail or exim (or any other suitable MTA). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
