This ist the problem of a High-Power MTA like courier-mta, exim or
postfix which can handel 1000 messages per minute.

My courier-mta in Paris is transfering each day over 250.000 messages
and it is realy overkill for a @home user.

I think, the Debian setup should include simpel MTA like "ssmtp"
and "msmtp" which are directly configured from debconf.
