Looks like Nigel chose to include this in the 4.24 rpm, however when
Upgrading from 4.22 (without alternatives support) this left me
without a /usr/sbin/sendmail link. Output of cronjobs begone.[1] I am
running RedHat 7.3, just for reference.
I had to first run
/usr/sbin/alternatives -remove mta /usr/sbin/sendmail.exim
followed the "alternatives --install" quoted above.
The %post script _had_ run, because I had a bunch of symlinks for exim
/in /etc/alternatives, just not the inportant one.

[1] Silly me, I only tested whether SMTP worked after the upgrade, who
would have thought that a simple link might break. ;-)
