msec is doing this. I had to work around this with my exim rpms for
Mandrake (see rpmhelp.net). The problem is that sendmail is pointing
to the exim binary, and msec seems to be following symlinks (bad, in my
opinion). So you have to tell msec to leave sendmail well enough alone
(which is what my rpm does).
