This only helps if users read local mail, which I doubt is much more likely than reading root's mail spool. For desktop installs, there is a proposed feature to not install any MTA by default and send all cron output and other things that are currenly mailed to root to logfiles instead. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NoMTA For the typical desktop user this will probably be about the same as now. Instead of having unread messages in /var/spool/mail/root, they'll be in /var/log/*. :) For those of use acustomed to having an MTA installed and sending root's mail somewhere it is read, it will just be a matter of installing the MTA of our choice. (Which for me would be slightly simpler, as I wouldn't have to handle removing sendmail and replacing it with postfix.) -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, which is why engineers sometimes smell really bad. -- Demotivators (www.despair.com)
