Why? I'm not proposing nor arguing anything new. Honestly, an openSUSE system _needs_ a sendmail binary in order for millions of scripts to work. The binary delivers the mail to the local MTA - if there is no local MTA, those emails are never seen. And that goes for desktops and servers alike. And for Redhat/Debian/Mandriva/Slackware/etc too. I completely fail to see any security issue in having a postfix MTA listening on localhost:25 on a desktop machine.
Yeah - thats what the firewall is for, right?
Exactly.
