Right! If you are soooooo desperate for an MTA to be installed, and to
only handle the desperately important output from some cron task, then
get this:

You should be demanding Exim to be installed, NOT Postfix.

Sorry, but I am with the developers on this. An MTA need not be
installed by default as that is more of a server capability, so a user
installing a desktop would use ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu to get desktop
capabilities.
A sysadm requiring an MTA should be installing the server install
(separate ISO as of Breezy) and he can have his MTA straight of the
bat.

Mike, you won't win this one. If you made a mistake, picking the wrong
install image, live with it and learn from the experience. For a
desktop, an MTA is not required.

Give it a rest now eh?
