Hey list, |

I am looking for an as-simple-as-possible setup for local mail delivery. |
4 |
What I mean by that is: the mail shall go into /var/spool/mail locally, |
5 |
which is why I deem it overkill to set up and run a complicated smtpd |
6 |
daemon with its own config file language. |

At my previous employer we used mda on our Ubuntu-based machines, but this |
9 |
is not available in Gentoo. It did extactly what I am looking for: receive |
10 |
mail (most importantly from cron) via pipe and put it right into the spool |
11 |
file, so I can see a message upon login and read it with mutt. That’s all |
12 |
I need, so I can get summary reports of zfs snapshots, smartd messages and |
13 |
so on. |

|
15 |
I was looking through wiki articles, but they all employ the usual beasts |
16 |
postfix, courier and so on. Do you have any recommendations? |

Much obliged. |
