I'm (surely anyone to sate anything, but a debian user who trashed windows
since etch) agree with this argument: i use gmail-whit-bell-and-whistles
(claendare & reader) for the mail and rsyslog for the system warnings and
etcetera. I simply want to get rid of mta, because it's really not used in
my system (the only root-mail i ever seen was by smartd upon my input
throught a test).
And anacron and cron simply recommend a mta! The real issue - however that
seems to me - is with at... (and drupal6 for those needing it...)
