After I also removed the sendmail package.

SENDMAIL(1) 
 
             SENDMAIL(1)

NAME
        sendmail - Postfix to Sendmail compatibility interface

SYNOPSIS
        sendmail [option ...] [recipient ...]

        mailq
        sendmail -bp

        newaliases
        sendmail -I

DESCRIPTION
        The  Postfix  sendmail(1)  command  implements the Postfix to 
Sendmail compatibility interface.  For the sake of compatibility with 
existing applications, some
        Sendmail command-line options are recognized but silently ignored.

        By default, Postfix sendmail(1) reads a message from standard 
input until EOF or until it reads a line with only a .  character,  and 
  arranges  for  delivery.
        Postfix sendmail(1) relies on the postdrop(1) command to create 
a queue file in the maildrop directory.

        Specific command aliases are provided for other common modes of 
operation:

        mailq  List  the  mail  queue.  Each entry shows the queue file 
ID, message size, arrival time, sender, and the recipients that still 
need to be delivered.  If
               mail could not be delivered upon the last attempt, the 
reason for failure is shown. This mode of operation is implemented by 
executing the  postqueue(1)
               command.

        newaliases
               Initialize  the  alias  database.   If no input file is 
specified (with the -oA option, see below), the program processes the 
file(s) specified with the
               alias_database configuration parameter.  If no alias 
database type is specified, the program uses the type specified with the 
default_database_type con-
               figuration parameter.  This mode of operation is 
implemented by running the postalias(1) command.

               Note: it may take a minute or so before an alias database 
update becomes visible. Use the "postfix reload" command to eliminate 
this delay.

        These  and  other features can be selected by specifying the 
appropriate combination of command-line options. Some features are 
controlled by parameters in the
        main.cf configuration file.

        The following options are recognized:

        -Am (ignored)

        -Ac (ignored)
               Postfix sendmail uses the same configuration file 
regardless of whether or not a message is an initial submission.
