This is one of the best advice.

exim4 itself is very small and light and good to support alias etc.

ssmtp and nullmailer are well known non-daemon lightweight sendmail
facility but they do not do local mail delivery right.

But with this, we get non-daemon lightweight sendmail without short
coming.

Any negatives?

(Of course, if we need queue, we can always do "queueonly")
