[CentOS] yum remove iptables problem

Hi

Just got a new server replacing another server.
I had to use iptables to protect it until I could move a hardware firewall from the old server to the new server.

Now I am trying to delete iptables but it wants to delete lots of other dependency packages, e.g. sendmail, cyrus-sasl and even plymouth.

Can I just use "force" and "no-dependecies" to get rid of it?
Are there other implications I do not know about?

thanks
Jobst
