If you switch it to another MTA the "outer" (generic name -> /etc/alternatives) links stay the same but the redirects within /etc/alternatives (pointing to the real target) are updated to reflect the chosen option. Same thing for java, ld and the other alternatives link groups used on Fedora. > So it's not a problem. All that happens is the mta link is > redirected to which ever MTA is active. Nobody suggested it was. Sergio asked about removing sendmail and since this is handled in Fedora using alternatives and virtual provides for MTAs and smtp daemons those topics are relevant to the thread. > So the potential problem has been covered and dealt with. You've lost me I'm afraid. The thread was about removing sendmail: I don't know what problem you are referring to.
