[OpenIndiana-discuss] Help, please! Starting to use postfix in an OI151_a5 environment, from scratch

[Hans J. Albertsson]

Will the SFE postfix package actually REPLACE sendmail??

In my system, using the SFEpostfix package, there's a
/usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
that's an executable, and
/usr/sbin/sendmail
which is a symlink to /usr/lib/sendmail.

There's also a symlink /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix that points to 
/usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix

sum /usr/lib/sendmail is different from sum /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
so I assume your statement is only true for some other form of postfix 
installation??

Thanks for the below pointer. I actually missed that.
