&gt;<i> Hello,
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> during validation of validation of msec/sectool update candidates,
</I>&gt;<i> a problem showed up: <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621</A>
</I>&gt;<i> Seems mailx (on behalf of msec) can't send mails to local user accounts
</I>&gt;<i> due to missing sendmail, citing one of the comments:
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>      <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2255#c25">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2255#c25</A>
</I>&gt;<i>      But sendmail (or alternative) is required for local delivery.
</I>&gt;<i>      Try it out for yourself
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>      $ mailx -v -s &quot;test mail&quot; root
</I>&gt;<i>      EOT
</I>&gt;<i>      /usr/lib/sendmail: No such file or directory
</I>&gt;<i>      &quot;/home/derek/dead.letter&quot; 9/214
</I>&gt;<i>      . . . message not sent.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> This results in msec reports ending as /dead.letter and never being
</I>&gt;<i> sent to the user who was specified in msec configuraion or during
</I>&gt;<i> initial installation of Mageia.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> So i added a require on sendmail to msec. But sendmail conflicts
</I>&gt;<i> with vacation, and more importantly with postfix.
</I>&gt;<i> So how to solve this mess? Do we want the reports to not be sent
</I>&gt;<i> to some local user account, we can leave it like it is and i'll
</I>&gt;<i> remove the require on sendmail.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> But if we want security reports to be sent to local users if they
</I>&gt;<i> specify so, how to proceed further?
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
Require or Suggest sendmail-command
