They won't handle anything, they'll just test the "everything is working" scenario. Having a standard way to use a real MUA, with actual support for SMTP intricacies, proofed queuing logic, and single configuration store or language, is a major reliability and operational boon. Every single time I've seen an app disdain the local MTA because "it is not available on non-*nix systems" it ended up badly the first time there was an error to handle. And I'm quite sure any security audit of their SMTP logic would have been dreadful. -- Nicolas Mailhot -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
