PaulsPC:/etc/postfix # ls -l /usr/lib/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 16 2005-10-25 14:03 /usr/lib/sendmail 
-> ../sbin/sendmail

back to the original question. If I have postfix and NOT sendmail and I 
want to do this:

do I need to install sendmail, OR can I tell postfix to do this by some 
other variable in the main.cf file?
