No, most of users don't need a full MTA, but only a local MTA
(usually only sendmail command, but ev. only a socket listening to
localhost:25).
SO I would propose a more simple mailer (esmtpd, nullmailer, ...)

For this reason, I would like to distinguish full mta and sendmail
interface for our dependencies.
