Or maybe just making the text explain that the default will actually work. I currently reads: | Do you have a "mail transport agent" (MTA) like Exim, Postfix or SSMTP | configured on this computer to send mail to the Internet? [Y|n|q|?]? n | Please enter the name of your SMTP host. Usually it's called something like | "mail.example.org" or "smtp.example.org". If you need to use a different port | than default, use the <host>:<port> alternative format. Just press ENTER if you | don't have one or don't know. When I read that, I just though if I hit enter, it will just not be able to send mails... So on my laptop I configured my home MTA, but it only works when I'm at home... According to what you are saying I should have left it blank here. What about adding "(It will directly connect to debian)" or something similar to the message above ?
