AW: [Kroupware] Distribution MTA

[Dohmen, Manfred]

Hello.

Good point Andreas :-) Perhaps this solution is worth to be mentioned
somewhere (e.g. QIM). Furthermore it could be quite useful to enhance such a
dummy-package to create symlinks for the binaries of the original mta
(/usr/sbin/sendmail...).
