This seems very odd. I thought that Debian set up exim more or less by default. I was using smail when I first installed Debian several years ago and then exim when that became standard; this is on a dialup account (single user). It seems to work perfectly well. How could you send and deliver mail without exim or another MTA? Can you point me to an FM which explains this? I am considerably confused.
