Guys, any of you knows if there is a way to change the mail transport agent in fedora, from sendmail to postfix for example without using system-switch-mail, what would be the manual way to do that?
Thanks..

That is roughly what system-switch mail does. This is it enabling sendmail:
os.system('/usr/sbin/alternatives --set mta /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail') os.system('/sbin/service postfix stop 2>/dev/null >/dev/null') os.system('/sbin/service exim stop 2>/dev/null >/dev/null') os.system('/sbin/chkconfig postfix off 2>/dev/null >/dev/null') os.system('/sbin/chkconfig exim off 2>/dev/null >/dev/null') os.system('/sbin/service sendmail start 2>/dev/null >/dev/null') os.system('/sbin/chkconfig sendmail on 2>/dev/null >/dev/null')
You can read /usr/share/system-switch-mail/functions.py for more details.

Never heard of system-switch-mail, I've always used:
alternatives --config mta
and fed it the number that matched postfix when it asks which alternative.
P.S. I notice on F14 beta, there is no postfix on the DVD, so might need to proceed that with a
yum install postfix
Never heard about "alternatives" useful too i tough that alternatives way is only from ".deb" distros. Thanks Mensaje enviado desde mi BlackBerry® de +Móvil!
