Well, Sendmail is the default MTA on all BSD's AFAIK, and being a part of the base system it's in /usr. But it's not Sendmail that's in /usr/sbin/sendmail, it's a symlink to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper which just invokes another program based on argv[0] and /etc/mail/mailer.conf. What strikes me is the fact that you invoked postfix with the path /usr/local. roman@roman ~ > ls -laF /usr/sbin/sendmail lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 Oct 9 16:08 /usr/sbin/sendmail@ -> /usr/sbin/mailwrapper BTW, how did you install postfix on the old machine? Didn't you use the port? I don't know the OpenBSD ports system details (a quick glance at the cvsweb interface suggests the similarity ends with the /usr/ports path), but "the other" MTAs' port makefiles generally have a "replace" target that takes care of all this. On FreeBSD, that is. -- FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE 7:11AM up 3:41, 4 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
