But it's always very difficult(to me) to uninstall exim !!!
What would you do if you want to remove exim without removing apache for instance ?
I don't know equivs, what is it ? where can I find a short or good documentation about it ?
Regards

All three are incorrect: packages typically depend on
mail-transport-agent, not exim. All you have to do is install another
package which provides mail-transport-agent. If you're installing an
unpackaged MTA, use equivs to create a dummy package.
