If this is Redhat/clone, it's because /usr/lib/sendmail ends up being pointed to sendmail. $ ls -al /usr/lib/sendmail lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Nov 7 2008 /usr/lib/sendmail -> /etc/ alternatives/mta-sendmail $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/mta-sendmail lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Nov 7 2008 /etc/alternatives/mta-sendmail - > /usr/lib/sendmail.sendmail $ ls -l /usr/lib/sendmail* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Nov 7 2008 /usr/lib/sendmail -> /etc/ alternatives/mta-sendmail lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Nov 7 2008 /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix -> ../ sbin/sendmail.postfix lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Nov 7 2008 /usr/lib/sendmail.sendmail - > ../sbin/sendmail You can use the 'alternatives' command to view and change this configuration -- # alternatives --display mta mta - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail - priority 90 slave mta-pam: /etc/pam.d/smtp.sendmail slave mta-mailq: /usr/bin/mailq.sendmail slave mta-newaliases: /usr/bin/newaliases.sendmail slave mta-rmail: /usr/bin/rmail.sendmail slave mta-sendmail: /usr/lib/sendmail.sendmail slave mta-mailqman: /usr/share/man/man1/mailq.sendmail.1.gz slave mta-newaliasesman: /usr/share/man/man1/newaliases.sendmail.1.gz slave mta-aliasesman: /usr/share/man/man5/aliases.sendmail.5.gz slave mta-sendmailman: /usr/share/man/man8/sendmail.sendmail.8.gz /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix - priority 30 slave mta-pam: /etc/pam.d/smtp.postfix slave mta-mailq: /usr/bin/mailq.postfix slave mta-newaliases: /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix slave mta-rmail: /usr/bin/rmail.postfix slave mta-sendmail: /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix slave mta-mailqman: /usr/share/man/man1/mailq.postfix.1.gz slave mta-newaliasesman: /usr/share/man/man1/newaliases.postfix.1.gz slave mta-aliasesman: /usr/share/man/man5/aliases.postfix.5.gz slave mta-sendmailman: /usr/share/man/man1/sendmail.postfix.1.gz Current `best' version is /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail. I believe that all you need to do is run 'alternatives --config mta' and choose postfix but I haven't researched this extensively. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
