yes, but in the case that something needs it such as logwatch it will
automatically install an MTA as part of the dependencies. So just
because its not there by default doesn't mean that it won't
necessarily be installed. It just means that for a minimal install or
possibly a desktop spin if there's not a dependency on it it won't
unnecessarily get installed.
