Guess what else it installed, a sendmail front-end. I didn't necessarily want that sendmail front-end, but install-sendmail-6.0 was able to take advantage of it anyway. So, the question is, how to build postfix and have it completely replace sendmail. On a related question, why doesn't the antispam keyword work as documented in fetchmail for the .fetchmailrc file? man fetchmail has it as -Z | --antispam 554. Is this only a command line option?On Wed, 28 May 2003, Rafael Skodlar wrote: > Sendmail is one of few things in Unix that should be gone long time ago. > There are superior replcements for it and people should seriously look > into them.
