You'll still call a binary called sendmail from scripts, but the call will be directed to Postfix via mailer.conf. -- Kirk Strauser pgpxoah3nfiUz.pgp Description: PGP signature

(Except for any configuration you need to do. If it's a standalone server to send mail from localhost, you don't need to do anything to get it working.)
