Bug#904271: axmail: Does not really build-depend on postfix



Package: src:axmail
Version: 2.6-1
Tags: patch

Dear maintainer:

Since this package is reproducible, I tried to build it with
and without postfix being installed and I got the same .deb
in both cases.

Therefore the build-dependency on postfix is not required at all
and may/should be removed. Trivial patch below.

[ Why would one need postfix being installed anyway? It is certainly
  not a package containing *.h header files. Even if the configure script
  is so old that it needs to "detect" that /usr/sbin/sendmail is
  present, this could always be hardcoded instead ].

Thanks.
