Uninstall Sendmail Package

package_sendmail_removed

Description

Sendmail is not the default mail transfer agent and is not installed by default. The sendmail package can be removed with the following command:

$ apt-get remove sendmail

Rationale

The sendmail software was not developed with security in mind and its design prevents it from being effectively contained by SELinux. Postfix should be used instead.
