I don't think there is a reasonable default for Mail. But we have been discussing this ad nauseam in the past. > > 2. Switch to using some other package instead (for example, postfix). Please do so if you find this is the right thing to do. exim4 sucks badly anyway, postfix is the much better MTA. And the switch to postfix has the advantage to me personally that it decreases my workload. > indeed reassigning to exim4 to produce per defaul an local delivery setup > at debconf level high. I do not remember reaching consensus that a local delivery setup is a reasonable default. Who will handle the bugreports from people who claim about broken Mail setup after installation? Will the installer people at least provide a canned response to such bug reports? > advanced users will be able to use debconf to configure exim4 to their > wishes at lower priority or by editing the configs. And less advanced users will complain loudly to the exim4 maintainers.
