If someone gets confused when configuring the default supplied
mailserver, then the setup for that mailserver should be improved. Won't
it just ask a debconf question that's not more difficult to understand
than configuring a smtp host in caff is.

I don't understand your suggestion about nullmailer. SInce nullmailer
provides mail-transport-agent, this should satisfy the dependencies just
fine already, and we need not change anything for that.

The whole point is that installing something like a MTA (whether it's
postfix, exim or nullmailer) makes sure you've instantly configured a
whole array of programs in one go. I dare say that it's more complex to
set up an SMTP server in each and every application than it is to answer
two debconf questions from a MTA.

Please stop depending on mailx (or recommend nullmailer instead of exim4)
