CentOS - Jan 2005 - Regarding postfix dep for redhat-lsb

when i checked the SPEC file for redhat-lsb i did a search 
for postfix and it didnt find anything...how can there be
a postfix dep if its not mentioned in the SPEC file for redhat-lsb?

Isn't the dep on /usr/sbin/sendmail so that either postfix or sendmail 
can satisify it?

ok i checked the spec file and it has the path:
Requires: /usr/sbin/groupdel
Requires: /usr/sbin/groupmod
Requires: /usr/sbin/sendmail <------- SENDMAIL mentioned here


On my production server: I have the following:

a symbolic link to the sendmail which qmail uses:

 sendmail -> /var/qmail/bin/sendmail


I guess I could edit the SPEC file and remove the sendmail line, correct?

or edit it in a way that it checks for either the symlink or the regular link
for people who might be using qmail as there prefered mail system.
