Re: default MTA for sarge
I'll step out of lurk mode for a moment.
Sebastian Kapfer is on permanent record as saying:
:Another random idea from my misguided brain: Maybe there should be
:separate exim packages: exim4-local (which is the MTA automatically
:installed by dependencies) and exim4 (which a sysadmin in need of an MTA
:would install). The two could share the binaries and only provide
:different maintainer scripts.
We can take this idea an extra half step.
exim4:
requires exim4-config
exim4-config-simple:
provides exim4-config
conflicts exim4-config-advanced
Configuration would be predefined to provide only local mail routing.
exim4-config-advanced:
provides exim4-config
conflicts exim4-config-simple
Configuration would be based on debconf.
Having said that, I'm not sure if I like the idea of separating software
from the configuration, but I wanted to let the idea out for discussion.
