$ aptitude why mail-transport-agent i lsb Depends lsb-core i A lsb-core Depends exim4 | mail-transport-agent Same results if i why on exim4. I assume lsb includes cron and other base-level tools that require mail functionality. Is this "all" that is depending on the MTA in my system? What's the equivalent apt command btw? show and showpkg don't seem to apply only to installed packages. As far as i can tell from locate and du, the whole MTA-stuff uses less than 2MB, so i guess fixing the boot delay exim causes/d would be my main concern. I guess having an MTA is a side-effect of the whole client/server thing; prejucide or not it's an opinion. Thanks for the help.
