Comment (by kaduk):
Replying to [comment:2 jdreed]:
> This is probably even more relevant, now that you can't send unauth
mail. Users likely will want a "real" MTA that does direct delivery or
something. I wonder if we should put some effort into coming up with
exim or postfix configs that will use a keytab or something, or at least
documenting. I don't think such configs should be included as part of any
metapackage (or depended on by anything else), but maybe making them
available would be clever.
I think I would prefer the "documenting" route to actually coming up with
config packages that are not depended on anywhere. The latter seems to
have potential for ending up with broken/stale packages.
