My reason,
Disk space is too cheap to waste time keeping a small tiny place-holder
MTA inactive... The fact you and others have emailed about this has
already not been worth the cost in disk space... ;)

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.

Its a virtual dependency.
ssmtp is not really an MTA, but a wrapper for a script that emulates
sendmail. Its harmless and uses very little space so you should keep it
(besides, you might need it if you want output from cron scripts emailed
to you).
