This clue could be a double definition.

'removes' is the first definition.
(sacking is a kind of removing)

'post bags' is the second definition.
'sacks' can be an answer for 'bags' (sack is a kind of bag). I'm not certain of the 'post' bit.

'from the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sacks that I've seen before include "Terminates employment as punishment" , "sends up in flames" , "Dismisses; bags" , "Large strong bags" , "Plunders; bags" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
