if you care about the output being delivered, you should find the mail
client (which can be a full blown MTA like sendmail, or esmtp/ssmtp) you 
prefer and configure it.

esmtp can do local delivery through a mda, but once again all this
should be configured by the user.

As a side note and unless I am wrong the package that provides 
/usr/sbin/sendmail with shortest name wins and I wouldn't be surprised 
if currently exim was installed.

We can do some kind of GUI in firstboot, as Jesse said but in the mean
time I think that leaving the configuration to the user is better since
we cannot guess for the user -- there is no superior setup, and no
superior /usr/sbin/sendmail mail agent.
