Well, just starting my adventure in learning Linux. My immediate need is a spam 
gateway, and all the how-to's I find are for distributions I either don't want 
to use or are very old, not to mention just copying commands isn't an effective 
way to learn. I have decided to stick with CentOS and learn using it, that 
being said I have loosely decided on a few apps to use for this server: 
postfix, amavisd-new, clamav and spam assassin. I was hoping to setup a minimal 
install and start from there, which brought up an interesting scenario. When 
installing basically nothing except text internet, editors and base, I 
unchecked sendmail and noticed exim was automatically installed (even though 
it's not even an option)! Fortunately I am using esx and creating vm's and 
snapping them to test stuff makes learning very easy! I wonder if base is not 
even selected if any MTA is installed?

Thanks for the pointer on --nodeps (I can see why that logically can be a 
problem).
