Better use "aptitude install postfix" or "aptitude install postfix exim4-" instead. Your above sequence will remove any package that depends on an MTA which is probably not what you want. > You may, exceptionally, need to dpkg --purge the exim4 components > and there's no guarantee that there wont be something hard coded to > expect exim _somewhere_ but the above has worked for me. Any such package would be RC-buggy, but fortunately almost everyone uses just the sendmail interface which is provided by any MTA.

I use Nullmailer, and it removes several dependencies of Exim4, not just Exim4 itself. There are probably some config files somewhere that are not removed, but I have an 80GB disk which currently contains only the BR and /, no data, so I am not heartbroken. I am not doing it to clear space, but to stop boot up getting slowed down by Exim4. Others' no doubt have other motivations. So I agree with you, Celejar, that Exim is probably not purged - I don't mind, so I haven't actually checked!
