Why need an MTA in the defualt install ??
hey,
why do most UNIX OS's ship with an MTA enabled in the default install??
is there some [un]written rule of unix that I'm not aware of or something??
everytime I install debian, I always ponder why is exim being installed even
though I never seem to use it. (For as long as I've used debian, no one but
root has had mail delivered to them, and those were very rare, and very
unimportant.)
Additionally, if the MTA is there for localhost reasons only, why can I
connect to it from another machine on the network??
thanks for any info
