It also seems to me that if I don't want ANY MTA on my system I ought to have that option. I may not want it to ever send email to anyone! PERIOD! Is there a different route I should take to get these MTA's off my system and let whatever programs need one, to use the one I want to provide instead?
+1 I use Thunderbird. I fetch from my ISPs via IMAP and I use those ISPs' SMTP port to send mail. There is no need to have a local MTA. I've bee told that if you didn't install a MTA to start with at instlation time you are not forced to install one later and get caught in the dependency 'circles of hell' you describe. But that seems a bit lame to me. As you say, we should be able to not have a MTA. So I try going in to yast and putting a 'taboo' on all you mention. Hmmmmmm. It seems to work. -- /"\ \ / 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
