[Techtalk] Howto remove everything email-related from Debian?

[Jennifer]

Off the top of my head, if you don't want to remove the software
that's starting up (why not, anyway?)  you could change the
permissions on the software, or setup something to monitor for it and
kill it when it does start. There is a lot of different monitoring but
I know 'monit' has that ability.
