[Bug 1296389] Re: mutt depends on default-mta(provided by postfix)

Is this a dupe of 1143862?  In any event, it seems unnecessary to
install a full-weight, highly-configurable MTA like postfix as a
dependency of mutt.  Either switch the dependency to a lighter-weight
MTA that functions only to forward mail to a central mailhub for
delivery, or, eliminate the need for an MTA altogether and rely on the
user configuring mutt options correctly for SMTP forwarding.

If a user has a need for postfix on a specific machine for whatever
reason, they can install and configure it themselves.

   mutt recommends installing MTA which is no longer needed

  This page shows that http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/mutt depends on default-mta(which is provided by postfix).
  How about a more light-weight mta ?
