There is no consensus on that, at all. Very successful competitors to
Fedora have removed it, and their users are happy.
Those 'successful competitors' are probably being used in a
limited-requirement mode; like a 'single-user personal workstation'.
In those environments an MTA probably isn't (really) needed because an
MUA is probably all that's used... or all that the human 'thinks' they need.
But, personally, I agree with billycrook@xxxxxxxxx...
On the servers I run, and the server applications I've written,
the use of email is mandatory and the use of an MTA is the
best, most-efficient way to deal with the email.
I say... servers should definitely have a default MTA.
We shouldn't confuse the need/use of an MTA with that of cron, syslog or journald.
They're purposes do not overlap.
