Hello all,
I have read this page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NoDefaultSendmail
Having upgraded to F20 the new lack of an MTA caused me no end of
trouble with my fetchmail->procmail->dovecot setup, but I think I have
got that sorted now. I had a brief flirtation with postfix, but gave
that up as a bad job when it started bouncing all my mail.
In truth I am quite happy not to have an MTA and risk accidentally
spamming the interweb, but I now find I am lacking one thing...
My system mail (and output from my user cron jobs) used to find it's way
into procmail from which I could direct it into mailboxes to be read at
my leisure.
Without a functioning MTA how can I now achieve the same result?
Although I can ssh into the box, and I do often check logs etc, it is
reassuring to know when something has happened I would get an email, and
the regular output in email-form from logwatch was something I would
check every day.
Can I get this functionality back without the pain of configuring
postfix or (shudder) sendmail? If so how?
Thanks in advance.
Gentle bump...
Does everyone here now do without email alerts, or does everyone just
install postfix or some such?
I would really like to know if there is a workaround for me...
Thanks again
Mark
