That's a lovely argument, and if we were talking about the live cd or th desktop, it might actually have a point in this discussion. LiveCDs and the desktop already include the base group, which defines a MTA. Changing the core group does not change this. The orginal question was that you get exim as the MTA if you only install the Core group (uncheck everything). > Fedora users installing it on a server (they do exist), especially as a > a mail server are going to be way less than desktop users.

Congratulations, you've now installed TWO mtas on every livecd install. Happy?
