Comment 13 for bug 379882

Guys, this is ludicrous. I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and grabbed mdadm and to my surprise postfix was forced upon me.

Notification of system problems is done by a syslog facility, and in the syslog facility you can configure email alerts if so you wish, then you can also send the alerts to a central log server for secure safeguarding.

This dependency on postfix should not even be suggested. There should be no dependency at all. Allowing this is a security issue, who downgraded this above is completely and utterly mistaken.

This gives Linux and Ubuntu a bad name, can this please , please, please be sorted.
