In practice, no. Just for fun, remove your /usr/sbin/sendmail while having Postfix's /usr/local/sbin/sendmail installed. It simply won't work. If I remember correctly, you won't even receive the periodic(8) emails. Nowadays it's probably better, but I remember in the old days GNOME would always print through /usr/bin/lpr, even when CUPS is installed. --=20 Ed Schouten <ed@80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/ --2tWkrNKppd65XSnD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkwjW/IACgkQ52SDGA2eCwWhnwCeOZsoyNCKkpXCQNkmHuIYDbdo UpMAnRevo7UfWpC6p3puyYUqsKbAYZGE =lUUd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --2tWkrNKppd65XSnD--
