The apt Description gives a different impression: Description: extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a mail hub A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your mail hub. It contains no suid-binaries or other dangerous things - no mail spool to poke around in, and no daemons running in the background. Mail is simply forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy configuration. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Is "common sense" really valid?
