exim and postfix both provide a mail-transport-agent, and also conflict with mail-transport agent, on the assumption that only one can run at a time.

An apt-get remove, or a dpkg --remove, removes the package, but leaves the configuration files, the debconf configuration, and it looks like the rc files stay where they are as well. I believe the reasoning is that it makes life easier if, for example, you decide down the track that you want to go back to exim. dpkg --purge exim will remove all the leftover stuff. -- Peter Hardy [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
