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****
