Actually, I've installed Mandrake 7.0 twice and... the first time, NO MTA was
installed, and the second time postfix, not sendmail, was installed. (The
first time a lot of stuff got left out since I made the mistake of choosing and
install size of 'only' 850MB.) I was pretty surprised the second install gave
me postfix instead of sendmail... which was fine with me, since it's what I was
using in 6.1
