root mail

[Konstantin Svist]

Hi all,

I have a problem with unix mail

Whenever there's a cron failure, etc. mail gets sent to root on 
localhost. It seems that it tries to use sendmail, except I have ssmtp 
set up in the alternatives.
 From reading the docs, it looks like ssmtp doesn't support unix mail.

I don't want the localhost mail to go out through a real smtp server, 
and I'm not too keen on running a huge mailing package like sendmail or 
postfix on my laptop. What are my options?

Thanks
