My understanding is that postfix has a process named "sendmail". aptitude show sendmail indicates that I do not have sendmail installed. aptitude show sendmail Package: sendmail State: not installed But I do have whereis sendmail sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/share/sendmail /usr/share/man/man1/sendmail.1.gz If I aptitude remove sendmail, it just says it isn't installed. The /usr/sbin/sendmail, etc., to my knowledge, are part of postfix. ./tony -- http://www.tonybaldwin.me all tony, all the time -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
