Mainly historical, I think. Exim has been the default MTA since 1998 or

I don't run etch but sarge and sid have exim4 as default; I would guess
etch is the same.

You could change "remove" to "purge" if you're not going to ever need
the exim4 configuration files. ;-)

audit still in process) & postfix too new. Exim was a stable, well-known and
tested MTA.

It's flexible, secure, has a straightforward configuration and the Debian
developer for the package went out of their way to make it newbie

There's no need to advocate the issue any longer. Smail is now
optional and exim is important, ie the default.
