Fair enough. But at least in Debian,
Package: exim4
Priority: standard
Description: meta-package to ease Exim MTA (v4) installation
Depends: ..., exim4-daemon-light | exim4-daemon-heavy | exim4-daemon-custom
So the default install would instal exim4-daemon-light, an
MTA -- and installation time configuration leads the user through basic
setup. Choices are:
1. internet site; mail is sent and received directly using SMTP,
2. mail sent by smarthost; received via SMTP or fetchmail,
3. mail sent by smarthost; no local mail,
4. local delivery only; not on a network,
5. no configuration at this time
I suspect a lot of single user machines are using the first 3
choices; but I have no data to back up my suspicion.
