Assuming you are running a Debian variant from your mail headers, I'm guessing that rkhunter specified an MTA required, and the default MTA for your distro happens to be exim. To prove that - ==> aptitude show rkhunter Package: rkhunter State: installed Depends: binutils, debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, exim4 | postfix | sendmail | mail-transport-agent, file, net-tools, perl See the depends line? Changing to sendmail is easy - ==> sudo aptitude --simulate install sendmail The following NEW packages will be automatically installed: m4 procmail sendmail-base sendmail-bin sendmail-cf sensible-mda The following packages will be automatically REMOVED: postfix The following NEW packages will be installed: m4 procmail sendmail sendmail-base sendmail-bin sendmail-cf sensible-mda The following packages will be REMOVED: postfix 0 packages upgraded, 7 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 1894kB of archives. After unpacking 3146kB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] In my case I'm running postfix rather than exim, but the results are the same. Installing one will automatically remove the other because they are marked as conflicting with each other. HTH
