What is the default MTA in Ubuntu?

Hi,

What is the default MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) in Ubuntu 10.04? Is it Postfix or exim4?

I am not trying to do anything fancy, I would just like to be able send an email from a bash shell script running on my PC to my gmail account. Any advice on how to configure the default MTA (whatever it may be) to send to remote domains?

Thanks for any help.

Mike

NAME
exim4-localscan-plugin-config - get information necessary to build and package exim4 plugins SYNOPSIS
exim4-localscan-plugin-config --localscan-abiversion DESCRIPTION
exim4-localscan-plugin-config is a tool that is used to determine various things needed to build plugins (shared libraries) for the Exim MTA. Currently there is one such plugin API - the local_scan API. In addition to local_scan plugins, this API is also available to shared libraries used with the ${dlfunc ...} expansion item. OPTIONS
Since exim4-localscan-plugin-config is Debian(TM)-specific, it currently takes a single mandatory option parameter, --localscan-apiversion, outputting the API/ABI version (ver). Packages containing local_scan plugins should depend on exim4-localscanapi-ver SEE ALSO
