Many linux machines are also used as servers. Linux is really a server operating system, multiuser and multitasking. If I use postfix, that's clearly server software. A plain user simply doesn't make use of all the features.
Maybe a matter of opinion. Postfix is an MTA, every client machine needs one, desktops included. That is why we install it by default.
No, they don't. Thunderbird is typically configured the same way as Windows, which doesn't have an MTA. The client software simply talks directly with the MTA at the ISP.
As I said, it may be a matter of opinion. Personally, I want my cron daemon, smartd, mdadmd, apcupsd (and others like them) to be able to send emails.
FWIW Raspis ship without an MTA by default. Even in the full desktop distribution.
I guess that is the Raspbian distro? I've never tried it, I run openSUSE on my Raspi.
Yes, that's right. I use it because that's what all the h/w add-ons expect and give instructions for. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
