Ok, so you still broke cron? I use cron for backups. I care about
getting that output delivered. For similar people not reading this list,
how are you going to ensure that their jobs still run and their output
still gets delivered like they're used to?
if you care about the output being delivered, you should find the mail
client (which can be a full blown MTA like sendmail, or esmtp/ssmtp) you
prefer and configure it.
esmtp can do local delivery through a mda, but once again all this
should be configured by the user.
As a side note and unless I am wrong the package that provides
/usr/sbin/sendmail with shortest name wins and I wouldn't be surprised
if currently exim was installed.
We can do some kind of GUI in firstboot, as Jesse said but in the mean
time I think that leaving the configuration to the user is better since
we cannot guess for the user -- there is no superior setup, and no
superior /usr/sbin/sendmail mail agent.
