Postfix w/o MySQL Support
I just installed Arch because I love the simplicity and the fact that I am given the most minimalistic base from any distro I have tried but when I attempt to install Postfix, I notice I am being forced to download and install Postfix with many MySQL dependencies...
I just want a standalone Postfix server running ClamAV & Amavisd-new. I wont be running a MySQL database for email.
Is this possible on Arch or am I forced to install unwanted / un-used dependencies?

Re: Postfix w/o MySQL Support
See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS for info on how to rebuild without the deps.

Re: Postfix w/o MySQL Support
So in order to do this which I am sure the Wiki explains, do I need to know all the normal dependencies required for a stand alone Postfix server?

If you take the standard PKGBUILD from ABS, all the dependencies are already listed in there. Just take out the ones you don't need/want.
I do the same thing with Postfix. No MySQL for me!

Re: Postfix w/o MySQL Support
So what happens if I do this and 2.6.6 is available from my Pacman mirror. When I do a system upgrade, will it try to upgrade my 2.6.5 version of Postfix and install the package dependencies I did not want originally?

Yes, it will. There's the ignorepkg option in pacman.conf though, which lets you specify the packages you don't want pacman to handle.
