<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Florian Hubold at 09/11/11 18:38 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> Hi there,
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> as Anssi made me aware msec currently has a Requires on
</I>&gt;<i> sendmail-command for cauldron, this was the outcome of the
</I>&gt;<i> last discussion about msec / MTA.
</I>&gt;<i> However, currently in /etc/urpmi/prefer.vendor.list postfix
</I>&gt;<i> is preferred as sendmail-command and mail-server.
</I>

Personally I vote to change the sendmail-command and mail-server to dma
as stated.

But I also vote to not require sendmail-command for msec.

It's an optional dependency of msec - some people want mail by default
and some don't. My vote is don't. I generally install MTAs anyway for
other reasons, so that's fine.

I totally agree that if a user isn't aware that they should install an
MTA then they are also not aware enough to actually check root account
or add an alias.

Miscs suggestion of &quot;enter an email address for who should get roots
mail&quot; and then install an mta to deliver it is IMO a good compromise for
everyone.

But I'm certainly don't have a massively strong opinion here, so take it
or leave it :D
