Description Fabrice Bacchella 2018-07-04 10:10:59 UTC

ovirt-host installed postfix on my hosts, but I uses another MTA.

So postfix is not configured, not monitored, it's useless for me.

Explicit requirement of postfix is not the best way anyway in RPM world, for example:

rpm -q --provides postfix
MTA
config(postfix) = 2:2.10.1-6.el7
postfix = 2:2.10.1-6.el7
postfix(x86-64) = 2:2.10.1-6.el7
server(smtp)
smtpd
smtpdaemon

And for example:
yum whatprovides 'server(smtp)'
returns:
exim-4.90.1-3.el7.x86_64 : The exim mail transfer agent
opensmtpd-6.0.3p1-1.el7.x86_64 : Free implementation of the server-side SMTP protocol as defined by RFC 5321
2:postfix-2.10.1-6.el7.x86_64 : Postfix Mail Transport Agent
sendmail-8.14.7-5.el7.x86_64 : A widely used Mail Transport Agent (MTA)
ssmtp-2.64-14.el7.x86_64 : Extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a Mailhub

So any one can choose that fits it's need best.

As didi found in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ServerProvides, it looks like server(smtp) is the standard way to do that.

# yum deplist ovirt-host | grep server\(smtp\) ; yum list ovirt-host
