It's a benefit to have all the messages in one place. Ahhh sorry to be such a bonehead but still not sure what you mean. Lets say something on localhost requiring admin attention happens and mail is sent to my user on localhost to let her know. Are you saying that mail will appear on the relay machine... not on the localhost? I'm probably tangling things up that do not work together but I was under the notion that if a fetchmail process running on localhost reached out to a pop3 somewhere....then local sendmail becomes involved delivering to the localhost user. So, would the sendmail running on localhost in your plan, see it, ignore it, deliver it somewhere else... or what. Or in yet another scenario... my user on localhost sends a message to someone at a remote location. Will any response come back to my user on localhost? Probably not.... eh? >> Apparently that is not true eh?... But, is sendmail.cf just ignored >> then or do you remove it or something? > > It's ignored. You disable svc:/network/smtp:sendmail and enable > svc:/network/sendmail-client:default . Ahh... I see.
