Isn't this a bit aggressive? Cron isn't the only one who might be using
sendmail, you know...
Might it not be better if crond would be made smart enough to run
/usr/bin/cronlog in case /usr/sbin/sendmail doesn't exist?
Aside from that, the cron postinstall just removed my existing sendmail
symlink (to ssmtp), leaving me without one.
Your code does:
# Link sendmail to a poor man's mailer if sendmail
# does not exist (e.g. dangling symlink)
# Handle the .exe mess
[ -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -o -e /usr/sbin/sendmail.exe ] ||
ln -sf /usr/bin/cronlog /usr/sbin/sendmail
[ -e /usr/sbin/sendmail ] && rm -f /usr/sbin/sendmail.exe
which is broken in the case of an existing symlink
/usr/sbin/sendmail.exe -> /usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe (as created by current
versions of ssmtp-config and ln).
