thanks for the explanation, but the bigger problem is that the Postfix package is built in a way that effectively prevents installing another MTA using --force alongside Postfix because sendmail is not a symlink as it is in many other MTAs, but a binary, and the effects of displacing that are unpredictable (to me). If it were, eg. sendmail.postfix alongside a symlink from sendmail to sendmail.postfix and Postfix internal programs would use the name 'sendmail.postfix', I probably wouldn't have a problem.
