Re: F20 - Unintended consequences of no default MTA - How best to fix

Was there actually a poll taken about who is using mail on their desktops? I didn't see one, so I don't know the percentage of MTA users, but as a long-time technical user, I have always run an MTA and use it often as a lightweight way to communicate results of jobs such as backups, SPICE simulations, general cron cleanup scripts and so forth. All it takes is to add something like: echo "Memory error in cleanup script" | mail staff Boom. I get timely notification right where I need it - in the one place that I check multiple times per day - my inbox. I guess I'll just add one more thing to my post-install checklist. One of the nice things about UNIX is the clean and minimal ethic that it was born with. I think that we need to work to keep it as simple as possible - especially in the core system. Otherwise it becomes nearly impossible to learn and less maintainable over time. kind regards, -- Rick Walker
