It does not matter how many subscribers on this list are still using Sendmail. I too am one of the people who does -sendmail +postfix in my kickstart configs but remember Red Hat has to support RHEL and I will be the majority of RHEL customers migrating from things like slowaris expect sendmail. A lot of these people are old farts that have been around for a hundred years and do not like to change things they are comfortable with. Like it or not we are most likely stuck with sendmail forever. Tom
