Install another MTA in packaged form, or a dummy MTA package. If you're using apt-get, it remove exim automatically. If not, you can always use --auto-deconfigure to remove it temporarily until you get the other installed. > I don't know equivs, what is it ? A package which allows you to construct dummy packages. Install it and read the manuals provided. It even comes with an example in /usr/share/doc/equivs/examples/mail-transport-agent.ctl of exactly what you need. By the way, it's not apache which depends (directly) on a mail-transport-agent. The log rotation utility it uses, logrotate, depends on mailx, which depends on mail-transport-agent. The dependency on mailx has been dropped to a recommendation in the development track of Debian.
