Sendmail is not the default mail transfer agent and is
not installed by default.
The 'sendmail' package can be removed with the following command:
'$ sudo yum erase sendmail'
Parameter:
[no/yes]
Technical Mechanism:
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.
