[oi-dev] smtp-notify with postfix or other MTA

[Gary Gendel]

On my machines I use postfix and qmail as MTAs.  Both provide 
/usr/lib/sendmail to make them sendmail compatible however, smtp-notify 
requires the sendmail package

I've got the sendmail service disabled and /usr/lib/sendmail is the 
appropriate replacement.  The problem is that, whenever sendmail is 
updated, it overwrites /usr/lib/sendmail which I then have to replace 
manually.

I'd like to completely remove the sendmail package so this doesn't 
happen, but I don't want to remove smtp-notify.  There is no "force 
uninstall" that I can see to do this or a way to say that postfix, etc. 
is equivalent to sendmail.  Is there a better way to get notified of 
failures so I don't use smtp-notify?

Any suggestions?

Gary
