That *is* the current case on these systems. The mail happens to live in /var/spool/mail/root, where it accumulates silenty, but the difference between that and /dev/null is practically small. On my own systems, I usually alias root to a special account (off system) I have configured for that purpose -- but that requires configuration, and it's no pain to install an MTA on systems where I want that. Without configuration, it's better to fail in a way which might generate an error than than to "succeed" in a way which buries the real failure. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mat...@fedoraproject.org> -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
