Today you don't need to play with anything: $ cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 12 (Constantine) $ rpm -q sendmail postfix exim sendmail-8.14.3-8.fc12.x86_64 postfix-2.6.5-2.fc12.x86_64 exim-4.69-17.fc12.x86_64 $ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/sendmail sendmail-8.14.3-8.fc12.x86_64 postfix-2.6.5-2.fc12.x86_64 exim-4.69-17.fc12.x86_64 $ ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2009-12-06 20:40 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /etc/alternatives/mta lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2009-12-06 20:11 /usr/sbin/sendmail.exim -> exim -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 213616 2009-09-16 16:37 /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix -rwxr-sr-x 1 root smmsp 825128 2009-09-16 21:54 /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/mta lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2009-12-06 20:40 /etc/alternatives/mta -> /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail $ sudo alternatives --config mta or similar will let you switch between MTAs. I expect Debian to have a similar arrangement today. I wonder if Ubuntu offers the options. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | p...@goldshmidt.org _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
