Do you suggest that sendmail command is the same as smtp client? It is not. There could be a sendmail command implementation doing no SMTP and SMTP client which do not provide sendmail command (there are a lot of those).

Thank gln for pointing about that - f.e. msmtp can acts as /usr/lib/sendmail but it isn't daemon and doesn't listens on 25 port - IMO msmtp (really: msmtp-sendmail package) shouldn't provides/obsoletes smtpdaemon. -- Tomasz Wittner ___ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
