The default MTA is still exim, isn't it?
In Debian, yes. In the Unix world in general, it still appears to be
sendmail.
But since all(?) MTAs provide a /usr/sbin/sendmail, it's irrelevant
to the user, no?
It is relevant in that exim can be configured beautifully while
configuring sendmail is configuring sendmail.
The functionality is similar; I don't know if there are things that can
be done with exim only but not with sendmail, and vice versa.
Thus, the appearance to the user is that he can or can not send and
receive mail, provided that a user is someone who doesn't care about
mail servers and hence doesn't experience the fun of configuring exim or
the configuring of configuring sendmail :)
