What would you use as a MTA on a Debian system made for an end-user?I've used Exim, basically because it's (was?) the Debian default.
I do not want a default software just because it is the default. Otherwise I would have be perfectly happy with windows, and then on Debian with gnome and then... well. I'm not.
Exim is probably a very good and complete - and so complex - tool, I do not doubt it, but I really feel like it is over-engineering to use it on a computer which does does not have any mail server task (being for a gigantic enterprise, a small one or a family does not change the idea of mail server in my mind. I have a simplistic vision of admin tasks, I know). And I try to avoid OE on my computers and softwares. For planet's ecology and my economy's sake, OE is bad :p
Plus, I want to continue my linux road with more and more understanding of my system. Too complex tools is a problem for that when it's not your main task to maintain them.

By relay host, you mean the server from which I am sending this mail ( through a web interface )? If so, yes, I only want to discuss with it, except if there is some advantage ( for me or that server ) to directly send mails to their final server.
