To recap: I use fetchmail->procmail->dovecot to process incoming mails. I use the smtp client built into Evolution to send mails (with one exception - I use squirrelmail to access my dovecot server remotely and, in installing squirrelmail via yum I noticed it pulled in exim too - so I now have exim on my computer it seems). All I really want is for internal system mails from logwatch and cron jobs to be poked into procmail INTERNALLY. I see no need for them to go outside into the big wide world. I am very nervous of attempting to configure sendmail / postfix / exim because I am not really well versed in MTA configuration, and when I tried to install postfix I think it sent bounce messages to every incoming mail. I am terrified of becoming listed as a spam source (I think my reputation may already be damaged from an earlier misconfiguration). Seeing that I had exim installed I looked into some setup guides. I found this: http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/networking/exim.html which seems to be exactly what I want - internal only mail. The problem is that it relies on a too called eximconfig which does not appear to be available with the Fedora package. Can anybody help me achieve what I want - either avoid the need for an MTA altogether, or configure a simple MTA to process internal mail internally?
