That hasn't been the case for a while now, I don't exactly how long, but
certainly with Red Hat 7.3 and beyond.  Red Hat's mailman rpms will work
with either postfix or sendmail.

That's more or less what I started doing too.  You have to like playing with
rpm spec files, but I think it's worth it.  The rpms I use now have better
postfix integration than the one's shipped by Red Hat, IMHO.  Of course, I
haven't tested them with sendmail in ages so I've probably broken that part
of it.  Oh well. :)
