A. Khattri, Ah yes, I remember reading it's not a full-fledged MTA. I was just curious as to why it was trying to install. And to answer the first reply's question: "The question I have is why would you want to remove all MTAs?". Why have something on your system when you don't use it? This is a personal server; I have ssh setup, I check the log files myself.
