What configuration ? AFAIK, Postfix work out of the box for the use case of msec/cron, mail sent to root are delivered to root mailbox, unless someone added a aliase. >From a quick look at dma, it behave the same ( ie, it take aliase from the same file, thus requiring the same configuration, or needing the same declaration of a smart host ). Wouldn't it be better to send everything to /var/log if no mta are found ? ( ie, do something like that : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NoMTA ). We have the proper version of cronie ( I hope ), so what prevent us ? -- Michael Scherer
