Hi, I want to build a spam gateway for my mail server using postfix. I issued an
rpm -e sendmail and got the following output:
# rpm -e sendmail
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr/sbin/sendmail is needed by (installed)
redhat-lsb-3.1-12.2.EL.el5.centos.i386
smtpdaemon is needed by (installed) mutt-1.4.2.2-3.el5.i386
smtpdaemon is needed by (installed) fetchmail-6.3.6-1.el5.i386
smtpdaemon is needed by (installed) mdadm-2.5.4-3.el5.i386
How does one replace sendmail with postfix (I am hoping to install from source
using the latest version)?
Thanks!

You could
yum remove sendmail
then you could
yum install ********whatever****
