Guys, this is ludicrous. I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and grabbed mdadm and to my surprise postfix was forced upon me.
Notification of system problems is done by a syslog facility, and in the syslog facility you can configure email alerts if so you wish, then you can also send the alerts to a central log server for secure safeguarding. This dependency on postfix should not even be suggested. There should be no dependency at all. Allowing this is a security issue, who downgraded this above is completely and utterly mistaken. This gives Linux and Ubuntu a bad name, can this please , please, please be sorted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379882 Title: mdadm installs postfix -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
