Hans,
Unfortunately, many programs expect /usr/bin/sendmail to work. That
means that you either have to keep sendmail running, or replace
/usr/lib/sendmail with the sendmail.postfix version. If you do the
latter, then any upgrade that includes sendmail will replace whatever
you put in /usr/lib/sendmail with what it expects.
I made a symbolic link from /usr/lib/sendmail to sendmail.postfix so
these programs work. Then I check to make sure this symbolic link wasn't
over-written when I upgrade OI. Most time it doesn't replace the
symbolic link, but occasionally it does.
I run aide to validate that non of the system files have changed, so I
can scan that after an update to see if any of my hacks need to be re-done.

Will the SFE postfix package actually REPLACE sendmail??
In my system, using the SFEpostfix package, there's a
/usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
that's an executable, and
/usr/sbin/sendmail
which is a symlink to /usr/lib/sendmail.
There's also a symlink /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix that points to
/usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
sum /usr/lib/sendmail is different from sum /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
so I assume your statement is only true for some other form of postfix
installation??

Hans,
You have the basics right. The problem is that there is no clean way to
replace sendmail in OI yet. When you install postfix, it will overwrite
/usr/lib/sendmail.
Thanks for the below pointer. I actually missed that.
Besides disabling sendmail, you need to disable sendmail-client as
well. The refresh on postfix should cause it to reload the
configuration file.
