I agree 100%. That's why it would be good to get a warning from
sendmail.
Just like on a GNU/Linux system with postfix shut down (is that
so? can't
check this lacking root access on our systems.)
Could be, but that doesn't make the behavior correct on Mac OS X.
Well, it's probably not good behavior on any system.
OK, that's a good idea. I'll report this. But don't expect this
to be
changed any time soon.
Of course not. But I just get really annoyed when people ask us to
work
around bugs in proprietary systems without even bothering to try
and get
those bugs fixed.
Fine I've reported the issue.
Don't forget that this is not just in a propriety system.
1. This occurs in Postfix, which is not proprietary software.
2. This occurs in Darwin, which is open source.
3. This will occur in any GNU/Linux system where the administrator
has stopped the postfix daemon, which may be a reasonable thing to do
when locking down a system.
I'll post any reply I get from Apple to this list.
