# Removing Sendmail

First, you'll want to check and see if your Sendmail installation is an RPM
installation or a source installation. A good way to tell, of couse, is to simply
ask....

rpm -qa | grep sendmail

If Sendmail is installed as an RPM, you will see an output similar to this:

sendmail-x.x.x.x
sendmail-doc-x.x.x.x
sendmail-devel-x.x.x.x
sendmail-cf-x.x.x.x

If it's installed as an RPM, you can uninstall Sendmail quite easily by running
the followinng commands:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop (to stop Sendmail)

rpm -e --nodeps sendmail-x.x.x.x

rpm -e --nodeps sendmail-doc-x.x.x.x
rpm -e --nodeps sendmail-devel-x.x.x.x
rpm -e --nodeps sendmail-cf-x.x.x.x

# Establishing an "artificial" Sendmail path

ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail

ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
