It will remove samba and while you remove exim because those apps require MTA, if you just apt-get install postfix it will only remove exim and replace it with postfix.

But when I apt-get install postfix, it wants to remove exim. So I aborted and did apt-get remove exim to see what its dependancies were, and it would remove mutt, samba and leafnode amongst others. So for the time being I'll give postfix a miss, but lots of people seem to be using it. Does it work alongside mutt leafnode and samba etc? tbird2:/var/log# apt-get install postfix Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
