Nothing requires it. Same for cups. So, why did it get installed? I usually do a rpm -q --provides <package name> and have it list the capabilities that the rpm provides and then do a --whatrequires on the capabilities themselves. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can jump in and explain an easier way. But that is what I do. You'll see that one of the items that sendmail provides is smptdaemon which is the usual source of dependencies in my experience. However postfix also provides it, so perhaps that's no help. Alex
