I disagree. On my home PC (which is not a mail server) my Mail User Agent (mutt) uses exim to send mail, and fcron uses exim to deliver the output of cron jobs. These are not obscure edge cases: this is the way commonly used tools are designed to work by default. There really are good reasons to install exim on a host, even if it is not a mail server. The fact is that many Unix programs take it for granted that there is a sendmail-compatible MTA at /usr/sbin/sendmail (or some similar path). It's not just for servers!
