In general +1. I personaly use msmtp for mail delivery since I don't want to mess with a full MTA configuration. If we enable DMA by default, we also sh= ould update the existing documentation. I recently discovered that following rc.= conf values are needed for local delivery of status e-mails from rc-scripts. sendmail_submit_enable=3D"YES" sendmail_msp_queue_enable=3D"YES" But since we have DMA already in base, the switch would be more then welcom= e, to move to a BSD-licsended, simple to use solution. --Gordon --fAvhd0C8m5L0ZNXE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGTBAEBCgB9FiEEYbWI0KY5X7yH/Fy4OQX2V8rP09wFAmNXMCBfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDYx QjU4OEQwQTYzOTVGQkM4N0ZDNUNCODM5MDVGNjU3Q0FDRkQzREMACgkQOQX2V8rP 09zfeAf9Fwn2QymbdQeYji0/i8CBiA7bHvMsNUXIXVW9MXUuALKsERTYE4bF8xaH bvyhJEC8r0qmpFba4jAKciX+yxy9fyqrY+OyXcLkPiMRLZjLjbtBNGt6ZYYRfZBL lLcmLNoWC7y2VkR1TwcdV3HpwOEPXUQ+I6r2IAJ0lzdXJ2PUBOtArYNCvxB0LHyC e8mH4E1YfZ5HY7erHDk2Ie2G4LmVEwkP6ocS4ygE80jBS+0NSlO5anABZ7qqgzZW Hy9HCsjq+iaW7jWYk7D/S+o7XOZAkdXsBmr6x7s5Ciz8yGpvfyk2SGq63XCs/9TT FkhJKX6mr4SfSzss1uZORgkpgTeHEA== =wFqM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --fAvhd0C8m5L0ZNXE--
