I second that.
- For a normal desktop you don't need an MTA. Just drop everything to
syslog.
- Next step would be simply to have one central configuration of a
smarthost (so this setting would be also written automatically to
mozilla/kmail/whateverMUA as default SMTP host). Mail from dialin-IPs is
anyhow mostly rejected nowadays because of spam.
- Only if some admin really wishes to have a fully-blown MTA, this
should be installed, but not for a default installation.
