So... rather than change how daemons work, desktop environments should simply stop ignoring the local mailbox.
No, that will be going ass-backwards.. both OSes and use cases are dramatically different than they were in the 70-80 when this idea came around..
I don't see how.
SMTP is for external mail. Ok, you may want an internal SMTP server for IPC, but really, internal notifications (internal mail) should not have to go through an external SMTP server. I don't need google/hotmail seeing all my server's internal notifications.
So there's still a use case for an internal mailbox. If cron sends notifications to the internal mailbox in servers, there's no point in doing it differently for desktops only because users don't check the internal mailbox. And evolution already reads the internal mailbox. What's wrong with that? How is that ass-backwards?
Why not use d-bus system or notify or wall or whatever but default install should be with no MTA in my opinion. Someone doing click click install can/should be able to live without the admin messages, since they can do without syslog as well Togan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
