Keeping in mind that the minimal install is exactly the same as what 
upstream builds as a minimal install, I'll suggest this:

A mail daemon is part of the minimal install for any *nix server. While 
you may not use the system as an actual mail server, there are likely 
services and processes (cron jobs, etc) that will generate mail as part 
of their normal processing.
