I was going to mention that and suggest to add another alternative in
cron-config
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/sbin/sendmail mta /usr/bin/cronlog 0
Except that cronlog isn't a real MTA. What I think should happen
instead is cron should use cronlog if sendmail isn't present.
I am fine with the proposal for exim, except that I was not planning to add
rmail, rsmtp, and runq
Those are for compatibility with smail.
I never included them in the cygwin distribution and nobody has ever
complained.
Okay, thanks for clarifying.
Also exim itself can run perfectly fine if the mta alternatives is set to
another mta, except that mailq and sendmail won't call exim.
So in exim-config I was going to present the current mta alternative to the
user, explain the above, and ask if it should be changed.
IOW /usr/bin/exim can be called directly? True, and I suspect that
would be the case for the other MTAs (certainly ssmtp). But in that
case, is there a need to run exim-config?
