[gentoo-dev] default mta
The current default mta in gentoo - ssmtp - has a more or less dead upstream and has some outstanding bugs. It is prudent to change our default mta. Both mail-mta/nullmailer and mail-mta/msmtp are lightweight good mtas. Both packages have active development and provide AUTH and SSL/TLS support. Our current mta list is: mail-mta/ssmtp mail-mta/courier rest of the list ... As net-mail herd, we would like to have the following mta list: mail-mta/nullmailer mail-mta/msmtp mail-mta/ssmtp rest of the list ... If there are no objections, the above change will be committed in ~10 days. -- Eray Aslan e...@gentoo.org pgp7zvCneOR9E.pgp Description: PGP signature

Would it be prudent to coordinate Gentoo documentation changes with the above? -- Mike Pagano Gentoo Developer - Kernel Project Team Lead - Gentoo Sources E-Mail : mpag...@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : EEE2 601D 0763 B60F 848C 9E14 3C33 C650 B576 E4E3 Public Key : http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=0xB576E4E3op=index

Ugh, I wasn't aware of any documentation that needs to be changed and a quick look/search did not turn out anything. But if there are any, sure, I will open the bugs and have it block the move. -- Eray Aslan e...@gentoo.org pgpstzpk2Z0nR.pgp Description: PGP signature

Seems like a good time to add this to the handbook alongside syslog and cron, at least for one of the simple solutions. I wouldn't consider it a blocker though. Rich
