In theory, yes. In practice, no. Just for fun, remove your /usr/sbin/sendmail while having Postfix's /usr/local/sbin/sendmail installed. It simply won't work. If I remember correctly, you won't even receive the periodic(8) emails. Nowadays it's probably better, but I remember in the old days GNOME would always print through /usr/bin/lpr, even when CUPS is installed. -- Ed Schouten <e...@80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/
