Thanks for the suggestions.
For now i'll try restraining DNS. Whenever the loss of mouse pointer
"forces" me to reboot again i'll see it it works :) If not, either
getting it out of the init scripts o switching to another MTA.
I like the client/server approach but this MTA stuff is kind of
annoying for regular desktop use. Is there a bogus MTA? One that'll
pretend to be one and accept stuff from its clients but basically
/dev/null everything?
I've not found one in a quick look (you'd think 'nullmailer' might fit the bill,
with a name like that, but you'd be wrong).
I'm curious however what it is you have installed that depends on exim, or the
mail-transport-agent virtual package. I have no MTA installed on my machine, and
no breakages.
Would you mind posting the output of 'aptitude why mail-transfer-agent' or
'aptitude why exim', whichever is more enlightening?
How do you get system mail from cron?
