Running your own MTA can be beneficial even if it is not accessible from the internet: - queuing: some mail clients block while sending and you also don't have to worry if the smarthost is not available for the moment - DRY: don't repeat yourself by making the same configuration in every mail client you use - local mail works and is not relayed through your smarthost Depending on your needs the first two points can be solved with one of the lightweight MTAs, but I only know of dma that can do all three. Besides, both postfix and exim are very well tested and documented and can be configured to do more advanced stuff (e.g. address rewriting).
