http://svn.donarmstrong.com/don/trunk/bin/sshsendmail

Stick it in /usr/lib/nullmailer/sshsendmail, then add something like:

foohost.com sshsendmail --identity=/var/mail/.ssh/id_rsa --username remotemail --sendmail-options='-baruser@foohost.com'

to /etc/nullmailer/remotes.

Unfortunately, it's not terribly well documented, because I wrote it
specifically for my craziness, and not for general consumption. [You
can easily see the operation of it and hack it for your purposes,
though.]

When you say "GNOME 3" are you thinking of Unity, Ubuntu's ironically-named
GNOME 3 competitor? This sounds like a description of the Messaging Menu
in Unity.

Hi Patrick,

It is detected and working now if I use kernel =

2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64. The problem comes if Update to kernel =

2.6.32-131.17.1.el6 from *cr* repository.
I will try to send the bug to the link you sent.

Thanks a lot,

... so on a typical laptop, you need to remember to set up SMTP AUTH if
you will ever send mail from not-your-house (e.g. a public wifi or 3G
connection).

Andrea, if you need to ask, please do for the submission port [1][2]
with STARTTLS. AFAIK there is no sense for SMTPS nowadays, and the fact
that port 465 has been assigned to something else [3] and that some MTA
do not support it are signs already in disfavor of SMTPS [4][5].

Hi there!

Just some small notes without re-iterating what other people already
wrote in this (now too-long) thread.

I think that the real question is: how much should Debian GNU/Linux
mimic a standard UNIX system by default?

I do not see why a system with a lot of daemons should not be considered
easy or, IOW, the two things are not mutually self-exclusive.

As Steve already pointed out [1], there is user-friendly software bigger
and more memory-eater than MTAs. I run Postfix on my laptop [2] and
have no problem using it [my laptop] for ~3h on battery, but as soon as
I start XULrunner everything changes [3] (and I do not use any fancy DE,
simply ratpoison, screen and Emacs).

Just to be clear as well: I am not.

Actually some cases of overheating have to be handled by hardware, since
CPUs can heat so quickly (e.g. in case of a detached cooler) they will
be damaged before they can even switch states. For HDDs or some other
pieces, it would still be interesting.

> However, the user should be notified about that decision, if possible.

Agreed. It would be nice to have a kernel interface to be notified of
such things, since the syslog sounds like a poor way of doing it.

I think this is the real question. If standard is a default Unix
system, then it needs to have an MTA. I believe this even though I do
not use an MTA on most of my systems (and I always use something other
than Exim). I'd also like to point out that if we don't ship an MTA in
standard, we should also not ship nfs-common, rpcbind, or libtirpc since
NFS is used even less often than an MTA and the same rationale for not
installing it applies.

Those seem like reasonable things to drop, though I don't think any of
those are likely to fill /var up with emails that most users will never
read or even be aware of.
