[CentOS] CentOS 5 and removing sendmail

[Robert - elists]

Hi, I want to build a spam gateway for my mail server using postfix. I
issued an rpm -e sendmail and got the following output:

 

# rpm -e sendmail

error: Failed dependencies:

        /usr/sbin/sendmail is needed by (installed)
redhat-lsb-3.1-12.2.EL.el5.centos.i386

        smtpdaemon is needed by (installed) mutt-1.4.2.2-3.el5.i386

        smtpdaemon is needed by (installed) fetchmail-6.3.6-1.el5.i386

        smtpdaemon is needed by (installed) mdadm-2.5.4-3.el5.i386

 

How does one replace sendmail with postfix (I am hoping to install from
source using the latest version)?

 

Thanks!

You could

 

yum remove sendmail

 

then you could 

 

yum install ********whatever****
