Actually I proposed doing that to work around the MTA dependency. I
haven't actually done it.
On the other hand, I have written a SuSE /bin/rpm package, openpkg-postfix,
which provides ``smtp_daemon'' and obsoletes postfix, and is installed in
our version of the postfix SRPMS. This is necessary to prevent SuSE from
reinstalling postfix (or some other MTA which provides smtp_daemon) every
time yast2 installs or updates software. This /bin/rpm package also makes
symlinks from %{l_prefix{/sbin/sendmail to /usr/lib/sendmail and
/usr/sbin/sendmail to avoid breaking other software that uses these
directly.
