moving from ubuntu

[Michael Masse]

Whoever wrote below that postfix is the default on Centos is wrong.  I've installed plenty of CentOS/RHEL 3, 4 & 5 systems and the default has always been Sendmail.    Not that it isn't trivial to switch to Postfix, but don't be surprised if copying over your current Postfix config doesn't work until you tell CentOS to actually use Postfix.
