Dag! I said MUA but meant MTA in my cross-post. Nice to know about the
"mail-transport-agent" dependancy, Debian is cool. Installing qmail
doesn't automatically remove exim, however, (at least not when I did
this last year) because the debian qmail package just gives you the
sources and does some of the group creation prep.
