They are dependent on having a local SMTP server, for example cron requires one to send email containing the stderr output of (presumably failed) jobs. If the zimbra packages declare the appropriate provides, you should be able to re-install cron et al. after installing zimbra.
I see that from the previous email. I have been reinstalling them and then checking to see how to keep postfix from starting. After installing cronie, etc. back, postfix was installed. I did postfix stop, but it said it was not running. I'll have to look in the start up and see if it is set to start on reboot.
