As mentioned earlier, n/postfix replaces n/sendmail as the default MTA.
However, postfix is sendmail compatible with respect to function; in
other words, any scripts or other applications expecting to *use*
- sendmail should work just fine, as postfix installs a file at

- to *use* sendmail *instead* of postfix and thus decided to leave
- sendmail installed on the system. The postfix package will overwrite
- the /usr/sbin/sendmail file on the system. Long story short: if you
- plan to use the sendmail MTA instead of postfix, you will need to
- uninstall postfix *before* installing/reinstalling sendmail. You should
- never have both sendmail and postfix installed on the same machine.
- If you do, one of them will not work properly.
