apache depends on logrotate which depends on cron which recommends a mail-transport-agent (of which exim is one). If you're trying to remove exim in order to replace it with a different MTA, just install the other MTA and exim will automatically be removed. If not, well, honestly you'd be better off leaving some kind of MTA there, even if it's only there to forward mail on somewhere else. Maybe if you tell us a bit more about your requirements someone can help. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
