This is one of the best advice. exim4 itself is very small and light and good to support alias etc. ssmtp and nullmailer are well known non-daemon lightweight sendmail facility but they do not do local mail delivery right. But with this, we get non-daemon lightweight sendmail without short coming. Any negatives?
