Debian – How to uninstall emailmail server

debianemail-serveruninstall

Mail was accidentally installed on my debian server and I want to remove all mta, mail related software. I do not know what exactly was installed, how can I find out and uninstall this stuff? I don't want to see this "you have mail" when I log in.

Best Answer

Start with

dpkg --get-selections

or

dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall

for a shorter list, which shows you what is installed. Look through the list, work out the major packages you don't need (like exim, postfix, mailx, bsd-mailx, etc.) and then,

apt-get remove exim mailx ......
