If you removed the sendmail package then you don't need to worry
about this.  It is only relevant if you have both sendmail and postfix
installed at the same time.

The system-switch-mail (not system-mail-switcher :) is just a GUI
wrapper to call 'alternatives' to switch the symlinks from sendmail to
postfix (and vice versa).  You can see which mta is preferred using
the alternatives command directly:

# alternatives --display mta

If you had both installed and wanted to set postfix as the default
mta, you could do so with:

# alternatives --set mta /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
