[Yum] a yum question

Hi. 

 

I installed yum on a server and issued the command "yum update"

 

Does it upgrades only the packages installed or it upgrades all the rpm in
the distribution regardless of what I installed ?

 

I am asking because when I installed RH 9 I didn't installed sendmail for
example, and when I ran yum update I saw in the command output something
about sendmail...

 

And I asked myself what yum is doing because I didn't installed send mail.

 

Then I tried rpm -q and I received that an answer that sendmail Is
installed!!!  

 

This machine doesn't answer to port 25 telnet thanks god!!  

 

So whats going on ?

 

Thanks !!
