| Summary : Linux Standard Base sendmail dummy
|
Description :
The Linux Standard Base (http://linuxbase.org/) is a standard core system
that third-party applications written for GNU/Linux can depend upon.
This package contains nothing else than a fake /usr/sbin/sendmail command to
fulfill the LSB\'s requirement of providing this command without requiring an
MTA to get installed, which once introduces a daemon which can cause security
problems and second, users get asked questions about how they want their MTA
configured when in reality they simply wanted to install a desktop application
or a printer driver, but the dependency on LSB compliance pulls in an MTA with
the installation.
The LSB requirement on /usr/sbin/sendmail comes from old times where Linux and
UNIX machines had all fixed IPs and did server tasks in data centers. Today\'s
typical desktop Linux machines do not do local e-mail any more as users use
external e-mail services.
The /usr/sbin/sendmail always exits with exit status -1 (255) and sends a
warning message to stderr, so that if a program actually tries to send
e-mail via the sendmail command the user gets note.
Description and files inside this package were suggested in Debian LSB.
