I've just got a quick question. I'm using Red Hat Linux 7.1, and I'm not sure how to decomission the original sendmail. I've read the documentation with Courier, but it doesn't actually tell me how to do what it says to do.

I'd look through the FAQ on the website, as I'm sure it would probably be there, but it seems to be down at the moment.

Why would the courier website have anything to do with removing your old MTA?

As root:

/sbin/chkconfig --del sendmail

This will cause your RC scripts to not start sendmail at all. Replacing sendmail binaries is not necesary, except in the case of /usr/sbin/sendmail etc. which should be replaced or at least superceded in the search path by the appropriate courier executables.

On Red Hat, "rpm -e sendmail" will thoroughly purge all traces of sendmail from the system.
