No, most of users don't need a full MTA, but only a local MTA (usually only sendmail command, but ev. only a socket listening to localhost:25). SO I would propose a more simple mailer (esmtpd, nullmailer, ...) For this reason, I would like to distinguish full mta and sendmail interface for our dependencies. ciao cate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
