Hello,
Imho the "default MTA" needs to be quite feature complete. It needs
to have a queue, and be able to deliver both remotely (at least to a
smarthost using SMTP AUTH) and locally (for disconnected host) and
supporting to receive SMTP (fetchmail). I think supporting all these
features limits the choice to the "real" MTAs (courier, exim, postfix,
etc.), with the same target audience as exim.

The package will move to backports.org when I've got time, Norbert has
already contacted me about it. :-)
