There is indeed such a tool. > Recently I installed it in one system where mailer is Postfix.

Keep postfix as the MTA, and just have /usr/lib/sendmail on the system. Its not all that hard. ;-) 2. Most MTAs in existence usually have a sendmail compatibility mode. You can have a script as /usr/lib/sendmail that invokes your real MTA in this mode. 3. Install something like ssmtp that will forward the emails to postfix on localhost. ssmtp can understand most of the flags that sendmail uses. 4. Patch bugzilla. You have just four files to patch: [root@bugzilla bugzilla]# grep -l /usr/lib/sendmail * 2> /dev/null CGI.pl globals.pl processmail whineatnews.pl Incidentally, have a dedicated machine for bugzilla (its web UI and the database). Then, you can use sendmail on that dedicated machine. Contrary to public opinion, sendmail is not all that bad. It is an excellent MTA, feature-rich, fault tolerant, ubiquitous and has not had security issues in the past three years or so.
