postfix dependancies

[Dougie Nisbet <dougie@tbird2.homelan>]

I was looking at  postfix and decided to give it a go. But when I apt-get 
install postfix, it wants to remove exim. So I aborted and did apt-get remove 
exim to see what its dependancies were, and it would remove mutt, samba and 
leafnode amongst others. So for the time being I'll give postfix a miss, but 
lots of people seem to be using it. Does it work alongside mutt leafnode and 
samba etc?
