It's not very difficult to have exim, the default MTA, simply not launch
an smtp listener. If it's only running queues and providing the
/usr/sbin/sendmail interface, you cannot possibly be a mail relay, since
nothing even listens on port 25. The configuration file to edit for this
is /etc/default/exim4
