yes but without configuration it cannot send mails, except local forwarding and for that i dont need an MTA. Instead of getting spammend by MTAs running on all of your servers, set up a centralized syslog server! however, if you deselect "standard system" in debinstaller it doesn't install any package which depens on MTA. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
