The apt Description gives a different impression:

    Description: extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system
     to a mail hub
     A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a
     system to your mail hub. It contains no suid-binaries or
     other dangerous things - no mail spool to poke around in,
     and no daemons running in the background. Mail is simply
     forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy
     configuration.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
