I'm not talking about running an SMTP server, but rather: - Programs being able to pipe stuff into /usr/sbin/sendmail (or mailx FWIW) - Knowing it would be routed to the correct location (with persistence). - The default location (/var/spool/mail) is well-known (and could easily become more visible via correct defaults for modern MUA's) - An administrator can centrally re-route all this to anywhere they want without having to fiddle with settings of individual applications. > It's just ludicrous that we have it in @core. Rip it out, now. I agree about @core, I disagree about default (desktop/server) installs. -- Oron Peled Voice: +972-4-8228492 oron@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://users.actcom.co.il/~oron Linux lasts longer! -- "Kim J.
