The following packages will be REMOVED:
* lsb lsb-core lsb-cxx lsb-desktop lsb-graphics lsb-languages lsb-multimedia lsb-printing mailx postfix
I am going to use another non-debian (no repo) mail system so I need to remove postfix, can someone offer hint on how to do this
without losing all the other files as well?*
crazy to remove mailx since a system can send mail without postfix or sendmail, exim, et al.

For mailx you should be able to use "-o
Apt::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant" with apt-get/aptitude.

Hi, thanks but it still offered the same packages to remove.

You're welcome.
Just googled and that both "Apt::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant" and
"Aptitude::Suggests-Important" are apparently obsolete.
Please try "Aptitude::Keep-Suggests" and/or
"Aptitude::Keep-Recommends" with aptitude (although I'm pretty sure
that mailx is a suggestion).

$ apt-cache show mailx
Package: mailx
Status: install ok installed
Priority: extra
Section: mail
Installed-Size: 36
Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com>
Architecture: all
Source: bsd-mailx (8.1.2-0.20081101cvs-2ubuntu1)
Version: 1:20081101-2ubuntu1
Depends: bsd-mailx
Description: Transitional package for mailx rename
This dummy package is provided to smooth the upgrade from mailx to
bsd-mailx and can be safely removed afterwards.
It's a dummy package, so I don't think it should have any effect.
$ sudo apt-get remove -s mailx
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
mailx
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Remv mailx [1:20081101-2ubuntu1]
Do the same for postfix (use the '-s' to simulate the removal) to see
exactly what the result will be.

When I ran "aptitude remove postfix", bsd-mailx (not virtual and
necessary for the OP's purposes) was meant to be removed too - except
for the fact that aptitude's resolver has another solution.
