Well, you can already strip it down so that the only transport in the
binary is smtp and the only router is domainlist; however, you cannot at
the moment strip out the daemon or the smtp-receiving code. I'm not sure
you want to strip out the smtp-receiving code; some local MUAs use the
local SMTP interface for injecting mail. I suppose you might want to
strip out the batch SMTP stuff if you aren't using it.
Point noted, but I'm not at all sure that it is worth spending too much
time on extreme minimalization.
