I can't think of a version of Fedora that did not have Sendmail installed by default. It has been a member of the Base package group forever to be LSB compliant. There is some debate among the developer to remove this, but that will not change prior to Fedora 15 ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NoMTA). Anonconda now might be smart enough that if you select the postfix package and unselect the sendmail all 12 times (i lose track) it will not install sendmail, but I can't fully verify that right now. Someone asked before and I don't remember if it got answered, the official tool to switch MTAs in Fedora/RHEL/Cent is system-switch-mail (or system-switch-mail-gnome if you like a simple GUI). -Ben
