On my RHEL4 boxes even tho I specifically state not to install sendmail it
still does, and postfix.
I uninstall sendmail which does not affect postfix. Alternatively you can
use the 'alternatives' command to set which MTA the box uses.
Im not on a linux box at the mo so I cant remember the syntax, but it
something like 'alternatives --configure MTA postfix'.
