Summary:                    RFE: Handle possibly conflicting MTA files with
alternatives
Description: 
A while ago, Peter Bonivart turned the common MTA commands and man pages
for sendmail (sendmail, mailq, newaliases) into symlinks which are handled
by alternatives so that in theory one can install two of our MTAs alongside
each other and switch in between them via alternatives.

He asked me to do the same for postfix, but I never got around to do so.
Now that you take care of postfix, maybe you can give it a shot.

Here's the relevant part from the sendmail recipe:
