From 4a92d7ca417a0ebaf92c25c2e9235a9a568e6ba3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Filak Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2016 09:19:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mailx: stop creating dead.letter on mailx failures SELinux does not like mailx creating the file and I do not see any reason to create the file in a problem directory because the file contains a copy of the email that could not be send. Failures of EVENT=notify are discoverable in system logs and if you run the reporter manually, you will see that mailx failed.
