Description

Our implementation of CIS RHEL 9 Section 2.1.21 supports only Postfix as a MTA.

2.1.21 produces an error if Postfix is not installed, even if no other MTA is installed.

This is probably wrong has having no MTA installed is legitimate, thus shouldn't be considered as an MTA misconfiguration.

We might consider turning this the other way round and display some “unsupported” error only if a non-postfix MTA is installed (typically exim or sendmail).
