Why is postfix running on my Mandrake workstation?	by flatlander	2003-02-13 05:51:23

The logging scripts need it?	by flatlander	2003-02-13 06:52:51
No, they don't need it.	by Avium	2003-02-13 06:58:16
The only reason any logging system would use postfix would be to receive incoming logs mailed to that box from other systems. Local mail will be handled by a different local delivery system (most likely procmail or mailx). In fact, neither Postfix nor Sendmail do local deivery anyway. They handle all of the E/SMTP protocol and pass things coming in on the SMTP port (25) to the local mail delivery system.
