Thanks - that's what I was looking for.
alternatives --display mta
mta - status is manual.
link currently points to /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
/usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix - priority 30
slave mta-pam: /etc/pam.d/smtp.postfix
slave mta-mailq: /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
slave mta-newaliases: /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix

Current `best' version is /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail.
I assume this means that sendmail.postfix will be used as preference,
but that last line confuses me. Is it safe to remove sendmail now, or
does that imply that some things will still need it?
