Conclusion: Linux doesn't need an on-bard smtp server or /var/spool/mail.
No, you are confusing things. That's not why the local mail service exists.
Corrollary: any programs that FORCE the use of a smtp server or write directly to /var/spool/mail are brain damaged and should be fixed. Nope.
I'll explain if you cool down :-)
Its not about cooling down. Its about not needed a SMTP server. PERIOD. This is demonstrated by the number of systems that work quite well, handle notifications and alerts quite well, without an on-board SMTP server. If you are unwilling to accept that MS-DOS and Windows has been doing it for decades then look to the Linux derived Android running on my phone and tablet. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
