One thing that I would find useful would be a simple client ONLY
compile option. Just about all of the 100 + machines I have right now
are all set to send all mail to the main server. Most of my e-mail
clients use pop or imap to connect to the server, so I have most all of
the clients running exim from inetd. There could probably be a stripped
down version of exim that only has the smart_host listed in its config
file.
I know I can do this with the existing application, but I suspect
things be made smaller and simpler ( from an admin POV ) if we can
dispense with everything short of "deliver everything there".
