Quote "rpm requires crontabs in order to drop a cron job in.  crontabs
requires cronie, which requires an smtp server.  If it weren't for this,
we'd have a better chance at a smtp server less and cron less system."

SMTP on a server seems an ideal transmission method for warning messages
of cron failures etc. Can not understand the logic of stripping the
'rpm' cron part from the cron system. Its only a few bytes on systems of
hundreds or thousands of GB.
