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.
smtp can be either same computer, local network, or external, it doesn't matter. You have a choice.
It is a sensible change: instead of having services using sendmail binary to send an email, have them use a library that talks to an smtp server anywhere. Perhaps with a central, simple configuration file that says which smtp server to use, and login, pass, from address... far simpler than configuring and keeping a full smtp server locally - which we may keep anyway.
You still have to add an internal POP and make desktop environments check it. I'd buy that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
