I think this is the real question. If standard is a default Unix system, then it needs to have an MTA. I believe this even though I do not use an MTA on most of my systems (and I always use something other than Exim). I'd also like to point out that if we don't ship an MTA in standard, we should also not ship nfs-common, rpcbind, or libtirpc since NFS is used even less often than an MTA and the same rationale for not installing it applies. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
