My question remains: what do you get with the current default of
Internet Site that is different to No Configuration?
For instance, do you automatically get outbound email working out of the
box, i.e. if I install it and then fire up mutt and send a message to
somebody @gmail.com or at, say

Thanks Scott. Sincere questions: do you have any evidence users
appreciate the current default? I'm asking myself what is the use case
in which a user wants postfix to be installed, listening on all

Right, I'm not suggesting leaving the postfix service off upon install,
which would not fit the general model of Debian packages.
I am suggesting the current behavior is not a good default, for the

Local Only, or it could be
What I imagine is that the bug submitter did want to configure a public
MTA, so he chose the "Internet site" debconf answer (the "right" answer
for his use case), and not "Local only". This led to a nonfunctional
setup, e.g. because he has ldap users, and the debconf setup of Postfix

Hello Christian, thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.
I think your point number 2 has been discussed many times in the past,

** Description changed:
At the moment, an apt-get install postfix has Internet Site as the
default, which leaves postfix running and listening on all interfaces.
