This is logical, as both provide the same thing: a mail transport agent.

So what to do? both are needed for vhcs ( http://www.vhcs.net ) to work *-)

You don't need courier-mta, only courier-pop and courier-imap.

Ok i'll try with them, Thanks :)

I made courier-mta conflict with smtp-server. As Jan stated, you only need the courier-imap package (contains courier-pop).
now we only should make all these smtp forwarder not providing smtp-server.
Maybe a scheme like this:
- All MTA provide smtp-server AND smtp-forwarder
- forwarder provide ONLY smtp-forwarder
- packages that really need a full server(do we have such things?) depend on smtp-server
- packages that only need a sendmail command depend on smtp-forwarder

Thoughts, guys?

+1 on Tobias's idea.

added to postfix 2.3.6-1 package in [testing], please test.

postfix 2.4.6-1 (x86_64) only provides smtp-server and not both smtp-server and smtp-forwarder as suggested by Tobias (8617).

At the time of this writing the comment by awagner is still valid for package postfix 2.5.2-1 in extra. No package in testing exists.

Fixed in postfix-2.5.3-1!

Let me know if you find any problems related to this.
