Sending mail and sending mail are two different things ;-)
Are you sure that your system sends your mail away? Or is your MUA just
able to hand the mail over to the mail system? On *NIX systems your MUA
calls sendmail. Using Exim sendmail is just there to spool the
message. Nothing will be send, except a queue runner process starts....
o invoke-rc.d exim stop
just stops the daemon! sendmail for spooling mail from local
applications is still available.
o on some Debian systems a cronjob regularly starts a queue runner
to check for spooled mails and delivers them, independent of some
existing/not existing daemon.
