Hi,

This may or may not be a question for SuSE users.  Presently, I believe 
that Sendmail is running by default on a SuSE 7.0 box.  Now I have for the 
past year heard more and more suggestions, that it is better to be running 
Postfix or Qmail instead.  If this is so, I'm thinking of running 
Postfix.  My reasoning is from numerous posts, Postfix is said to be easy 
to work with and secure.

If I uninstall Sendmail what will get broken on my SuSE 7.0?  What should I 
be look for in advance to make sure there is a smooth transition.

Just one additional note, this is not a network but a standalone machine, 
if that should matter.
