2006/11/23, Conrad Winchester <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I do have one question though and I apologize if people always ask this: At
the end of the install I asked whether I want to run sshd and ntpd by
default - very nice BUT why am I not given the option to turn off Sendmail
at this point? I NEVER use sendmail and for an OS that prides itself on
being as minimal as possible I would have thought giving you the option to
not run sendmail would also be there right from the start.

Any system needs a MTA running, at least to manage email from
nightly/weekly/monthly check.
So, default MUST be "mta running" (you can choose to stop it).

Why sendmail? Why not?

p.s.
i usually use another MTA
