I wouldn't like this as the default debian setup. Risking losing mails isn't an option. Actually, for the default setup, I'd prefer a solution that targets the Joe Normal-user who doesn't (want to) know what an MTA is for, because he/she only uses an MUA that delivers mail to the provider's smarthost anyway (Thunderbird or Evolution for example). For example: By default, install a very minimalistic MTA that only delivers mail to the local spool file (and that cannot be configured to do anything else). Then introduce a way to notify the user when there's new mail in the spool file and to directly show the mail to the user (Maybe an extra tool running under Gnome or KDE. Or a default Thunderbird/Evolution-configuration that will always fetch mails from the spool file). Everyone who needs more than this (probably most of the debian-devel-audience, including me) can install $preferred_mta. Cheers, Wolf -- Sünde ist nicht eine begrenzte Liste moralischer Verfehlungen.
