>> Suggestions welcomed. > > how about not running a full MTA on a laptop/client install... at all? I agree. Any of the daemons such as cron, or the jobs that run through them mail locally by default and in most desktop/laptop style of use that would never be changed. So to have a full blown MTA for local delivery is overkill for a vast majority of situations. I filed a bug [1] against cronie for OLPC when it started pulling in exim because I think it was basically first on the list to provide /usr/sbin/sendmail. It was mentioned in the bug that MTAs that can do local delivery and other local delivery agents (procmail?) should provide mail(local) and then those sort of apps Require it rather than the explicit sendmail binary. I'm not sure how that deals with the exim style first in the list though. Anyone who works out that they want the mail delivered elsewhere should be able to work out how to install a full MTA.
