Hey list,
I am looking for an as-simple-as-possible setup for local mail delivery.
What I mean by that is: the mail shall go into /var/spool/mail locally,
which is why I deem it overkill to set up and run a complicated smtpd
daemon with its own config file language.
At my previous employer we used mda on our Ubuntu-based machines, but this
is not available in Gentoo. It did extactly what I am looking for: receive
mail (most importantly from cron) via pipe and put it right into the spool
file, so I can see a message upon login and read it with mutt. That’s all
I need, so I can get summary reports of zfs snapshots, smartd messages and
so on.
I was looking through wiki articles, but they all employ the usual beasts
postfix, courier and so on. Do you have any recommendations?
Much obliged.
