A mere MSA cannot handle local mail. One such example is ssmtp which doesn't know how to deliver rejections if it can't reach the smarthost, making all failure notifications outright lost. I don't think there's a name for a no-listen MTA. There's no point in prolonged discussions about naming, though.
