OK, I found out that this is the usual outgoing queue which needs to be |
| 7 |
processed by sendmail, probably through another cronjob or a process that |
| 8 |
itself checks that directory periodically. |

It’s really not easy to find a description of the default setup of olden |
| 14 |
days (or I’m simply using the wrong search terms). Because when you search |
| 15 |
for something like unix local mail setup, most results are about setting up |
| 16 |
an SMTP server. In hindsight—perhaps that is simply the way to go. :-/ |
