I use Nullmailer, and it removes several dependencies of Exim4, not just Exim4
itself. There are probably some config files somewhere that are not removed,
but I have an 80GB disk which currently contains only the BR and /, no data,
so I am not heartbroken.
I am not doing it to clear space, but to stop boot up getting slowed down by
Exim4. Others' no doubt have other motivations. So I agree with you,
Celejar, that Exim is probably not purged - I don't mind, so I haven't
actually checked!
