i'm running redhat 8.0 and have used the provided tool to switch from
sendmail to postfix.... for some reason as the server boots it still runs
sendmail as a service which is fine and gives an [ok], but when starting
sm-client on the line afterwards the boot process stops, which prevents the
rest of things from starting up, most notably apache which is bad as this is
a live webserver, and i have to ssh in to start apache, webmin, vncserver,
etc... at least i can ssh in 8-)

the last entry in the boot.log says "sendmail started successfully" or
something like that... there is no mention of sm-client starting or
failing... do i really need sendmail? can i uninstall sendmail since i am
using postfix?

thanks!
