In that case verify that postfix 2.0.16 is indeed the one running on the
system:
postconf mail_version

Uninstalling sendmail will not automagically pull up the missing postfix
binary. Though you should be able to use the rpm of your install cd to
restore the missing Postfix sendmail binary.

rpm --verify postfix

If rpm complains then rename the Sendmail sendmail binary and use

rpm -Fvh postfix

to restore the correct binary. If you are very paranoid, use rpm2cpio
and cpio to extract the sendmail binary from the rpm, rename the
installed sendmail binary and put in the binary from the rpm and set the
correct permissions.
