It's far less than that -- it's 1721KiB. We gain almost no space by
dropping it.
I'm somewhat ignorant of Postfix so I could be wrong, but I don't
believe it duplicates the functionality available from Exim.
I've already posted a few examples of things which Exim in FC3 could
handle, to see if someone most Postfix-aware than I can show how to do
the same in Postfix. Nobody's taken that challenge yet.
Which distribution use exim by default ?
Debian ?
Other ?
Does the license matter ?
exim : GPL
postfix : IBM Public License

IBM Public License, Version 1.0
This is a free software license but it is incompatible
with the GPL.
The IBM Public License is incompatible with the GPL
because it has various specific requirements that are
not in the GPL.
For example, it requires certain patent licenses be
given that the GPL does not require. (We don't think
those patent license requirements are inherently a bad
idea, but nonetheless they are incompatible with the GNU
GPL.)
Just curious.
