<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hello,<br><br>The version of postfix which comes with RHEL 6 is very old, postfix version 2.6, and does not contain the features I want. So I have installed postfix 2.10 from source code. Next, I would like to remove sendmail from this server, and use the source compiled postfix as our MTA. However if I try to remove sendmail, yum tries to remove lot's of other critical packages like crontabs and redhat-lsb-core. How do I remove sendmail and let the package manager know that I have an MTA installed, so it doesn't try and remove these packages?<br>
