My understanding is that postfix has a process named "sendmail".
aptitude show sendmail indicates that I do not have sendmail installed.
aptitude show sendmail
Package: sendmail
State: not installed
But I do have whereis sendmail
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/share/sendmail /usr/share/man/man1/sendmail.1.gz
If I aptitude remove sendmail, it just says it isn't installed.
The /usr/sbin/sendmail, etc., to my knowledge, are part of postfix.
