Thank you. I will look into this wiki.


 email seems to be one of the more complicated things to manage in linux.

That's why I avoided it so far. :)



I set this up on my old machine and transferred it over to my new rig. 
I use mail-mta/ssmtp and it works fine.  I haven't tested it yet on new
rig but worked on old rig.  Only thing that uses it is SMART for hard
drives, that I know of anyway.  This is my config file, less comments. 
/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf

root=postmaster

root=rdalek1967@gmail.com  #Change to your preferred email address

[…]

Hope that helps.   Someone else may add to this.  Or correct things. 

Well, the OP wants to have local delivery, not delivery via SMTP to an 
external server. That means the mail is generated by the local service (like 
ZED or smartd), reaches the MTA and that—without any network traffic—puts 
the mail directly into a local folder, where it can be viewed with a reader 
like mutt, or trigger a “you have mail” notification at logon.

I use dma for that. I can’t remember anymore whether I had to set up 
anything specific, but my /etc/dma/dma.conf is completely vanilla and has 
all lines commented out. When I do something like

echo hi | mutt root -s testmail
echo hi | mutt frank -s testmail

I get a new mail in /var/spool/mail/root and /var/spool/mail/frank, 
respectively.

Oh, that kind of local.  I never tried that.  Although I would like one day to set up my own email thing so I can use whatever client I want.  Sounds complicated so that's a while off.
