The new standard MTA is exim. You don't have to switch, if your
current setup is working OK. I have a box running unstable and I have
smail, because I didn't have time to switch. When it doesn't break,
don't touch it :-)

I have smtp_remote_allow=localnet in smail's config, so only connects
from localnet may specify a non-local destination address.
I use smail 3.2.0.102-1, but I believe relay control has been added in
3.2.0.100 or such some.
