Then look at the chain of package dependencies until you understand it.
samba requires logrotate
logrotate requires mailx
mailx requires mail-transport-agent
exim provides mail-transport-agent
That's why.
postfix also provides mail-transport-agent, and postfix conflicts with
exim. So if you install postfix, exim will be removed, but since you
will still have a mail-transport-agent, samba, mutt, leafnode, etc.
should not be affected.
