Simply get upstream to rename it to pfx.


The bigger issues is to why so many package have "sendmail", "postfix", or "exim" hardcoded in their binaries. A simple 'strings' command can tell us what package have these potential system calls embedded in their binaries:

Of course I have a sendmail centric installation, and someone out there probably has a distro wide CVS search for dependencies. Besides, this simple search may be yeild a few false positives. Regardless, upstream packages should get more generic on their MTA of choice. But this proves to me the importance of sendmail of the other MTAs.

strings for 'sendmail':
