Perhaps I misunderstood then, but when would a mail be send then if it can't listen to SMTP requests? To me, sending a mail goes like this Client makes connection to smtp server Client talks smtp to server Server determines whom the mail is for Server sends (or stores) the mail to wherever it is supposed to
When there is no SMTP server, how would a (local) client send a mail through it? Perhaps the OP can clarify a bit more, because an MTA without SMTP seems kinda useless to me...
