Umm, where, Jdow? I see five replies to the thread (not including this
one) but nobody mentioned alternatives or the virtual provides for
smtpdaemon/MTA which is kinda important in understanding how the
packaging of these components work on Fedora systems.
You can also use one of the simple smtp command packages (ssmtp,
esmtp) if you prefer not to have a receive-capable MTA installed on
the system. These provide /usr/sbin/sendmail and can be selected in
alternatives but do not provide smtpdaemon and cannot listen on the
network for incoming mail. They are a good choice for personal systems
or systems where you'd rather not administer a full-blown MTA.
For some reason the current ssmtp package doesn't list the
/usr/sbin/sendmail provide but it is included in the package. I
haven't checked to see if that would cause any problems while
attempting to remove any smtpdaemon.
Regards,
Bryn.
