Re: removing exim installing sendmail in debian
I know if you're in dselect and select to install sendmail it comes up with the conflicts and allows you to remove exim and install sendmail thus solving the mail-transport-agent virtual package dependency other MUA's, etc depend on...

Use dselect. It will complain and present you with a screen showing all packages that provide mta. Select sendmail. -- Simon Hepburn.

Just a thought - if you do apt-get install sendmail, does apt not threaten to remove exim for you? Go with the flow!

Just install sendmail:) It conflicts with exim, and hence dpkg will automagically remove exim just seconds before installing sendmail. -- groetjes, carel
