i've just wondered why sendmail is still the default MTA in Fedora.
Please enlighten me?
Some people (/me waves) were concerned about the element of surprise
when someone configures a new system, throws some (user) cron jobs on
it, and expects local mail delivery to Just Work.
sendmail isn't the only mta in fedora that just works out of the box. I
know postfix does and I believe exim does as well.
And did anyone have an actual problem with sendmail other than noticing
it taking time to start the daemon in the boot sequence. That's a
problem that can be solved on its own since you don't really need a
daemon then.
Removing mail from the expected services is just the wrong thing to do,
especially if the reasoning is that the service isn't understood or used
to advantage. Add a setup for a root alias in firstboot and a mail
notifier in the gnome panel to make the system more useful instead of less.
