Re: How to SMTP (Email) Server Fedora 6?

Works for who? Sendmail works fine for many desktop users that
install Fedora. So the defaults aren't suitable for a production mail
server, big deal. Anyone running a production mail server should be
expected to be competent to configure the mail server.

If the other services didn't work as distributed you probably
wouldn't run them either.

BS. I configure plenty of services for the servers I manage. Even if
they do work fine out of the box I always familiarize myself with
their configuration options before running them on a production
system.

There is a case that the service could be enabled by default and the
firewall left to deny access (by default) or allow it. But I still
fail to see how disabling it by default is really broken as you keep
repeating. You simply don't like the default. File a bug and make
your case to someone that might be able to do something about it.

I have very little concern for someone that intends to run a mail
server and doesn't take the time to read any of the documentation.
They will be boned in so many ways that arguing over how to make the
system work for them is pointless. I believe the saying is something
like, "don't argue with fools, first, they drag you down to their
level, then beat you with experience."
