yes but without configuration it cannot send mails, except local
forwarding and for that i dont need an MTA. Instead of getting
spammend by MTAs running on all of your servers, set up a centralized
syslog server!

however, if you deselect "standard system" in debinstaller it doesn't
install any package which depens on MTA.
