ok i checked the spec file and it has the path: Requires: /usr/sbin/groupdel Requires: /usr/sbin/groupmod Requires: /usr/sbin/sendmail <------- SENDMAIL mentioned here On my production server: I have the following: a symbolic link to the sendmail which qmail uses: sendmail -> /var/qmail/bin/sendmail I guess I could edit the SPEC file and remove the sendmail line, correct? or edit it in a way that it checks for either the symlink or the regular link for people who might be using qmail as there prefered mail system.
