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. |

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. |
