Well, lots of scripts and daemons use e.g. "mail" or "sendmail" to send messages to the admin. I guess the stand-alone desktop user could just ignore those, of course.
These daemons have to be fixed at some point though, making them able to talk the SMTP protocol instead of forking mail or sendmail.
What? No... sendmail has to be able to actually send mail (ie, through SMTP). And that's it. Actually, in gnome with evolution it already works quite fine as it is now, since evolution can read the local mailbox and present it to users rather transparently. So... rather than change how daemons work, desktop environments should simply stop ignoring the local mailbox. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
