a way that a MTA replacement doesn't break functionality of services
like smtp-notify.

Maybe it's time to introduce something same as BSD's mailwrapper(8)?

Usually I make this trick on OSes which have not mailwrapper:
# mv /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail.real
# ln -s /usr/pkg/sbin/exim /usr/lib/sendmail

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail dependencies

2012-02-16 Thread Gary Gendel

Hi,

I tried to start up smtp-notify, but it failed because sendmail-client 
wasn't running.  This is a problem because I have a sendmail replacement 
(qmail) running.  Once I modified the dependencies using svccfg to 
exclude sendmail-client and include qmail-smtp (which provides the 
sendmail equivalent) it ran fine.


However, this bring up the question of how to deal with an MTA 
replacement for sendmail functionality in general.  I'm sure that others 
will be using postfix, qmail, etc. instead of sendmail.  We should

services like smtp-notify.
