Perhaps we disagree what MTA means. I consider for example ssmpt to be a MTA. (And judging from the package-description, it's maintainer seems to believe the same). In other words I demand beeing able so send a mail somewhere. (Which includes speaking SMTP, if one wants to reach arbitrary hosts). Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R. Link -- Sendmail is like emacs: A nice operating system, but missing an editor and a MTA.
