By the way, I don't understand how this dependency chain resolves to
postfix:

smartmontools recommends mailx | bsd-mailx

mailx is a virtual package provided by mailutils and bsd-mailx

Both mailutils and bsd-mailx depend on default-mta | mail-transport-
agent

default-mta is a virtual package provided by exim4-daemon-light

mail-transport-agent is a virtual package provided by all SMTP servers
in Debian (both full-blown and fake ones like ssmtp or nullmailer)

Knowing this, I don't understand how APT could have chosen Postfix to
resolve this chain of dependency. Whichever one of bsd-mailx or
mailutils was chosen to satisfy smartmontools dependencies, APT's first
choice should have been exim4-daemon-light, not postfix.
