Note that that's another argument for relegating *all* the MTA's to Extras
and shipping a dirt-simple SMTP pass-through that does little more than
proxy local mail requests to the ISP or company server.
Not really. My ISP gives me a line and an IP address. That's it. I
don't have access to any of their mail servers. So I needed an MTA that
could both send and receive on it's own, and not proxy through anything.
