So back to enable it again.
Just for the record, I used to do this after every Fedora installation:
yum install postfix
yum remove sendmail
chkconfig postfix on
service postfix start
(well, I still do this -- just did for F17 -- but now 'chkconfig' and 'service' should be replaced by their systemd counterparts)
Works like a charm, as jdow posted, postfix is configured to replace sendmail completely.
