That's hardly fair. When the user doesn't express any preference for an
MTA, either explicitly, or through the use of the "base" group in comps,
then yes, yum resorts to the best providers algorithm to satisfy the
generic mta requirement. With no other hints, all things wind up being
equal amongst our MTA providers and yum does finally have to resort to
shortest name.
