As from SMS 1.3 Postfix is the default MTA.
Sendmail is still available if someone want to use it.
There aren't much things to do for changing between them,
but I have created a script for changing between those two in a second.

The Script
Code:
#!/bin/bash

if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail ]; then
        echo Current MTA: Sendmail
        else
        echo Current MTA: Postfix
        fi

PS3="Please Select MTA:"

LIST="Sendmail Postfix Exit"
select i in $LIST
        do
        if [ $i = "Sendmail" ]
        then
        chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.postfix-milter
        chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail
        cp /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
        cp /usr/sbin/sendmail.original /usr/sbin/sendmail
        postfix stop
        /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail start
        echo Sendmail is now the default MTA
        elif [ $i = "Postfix" ]
        then
        /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail stop
        chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.postfix-milter
        chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail
        cp /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.original
        cp /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix /usr/sbin/sendmail
        postfix start
        echo Postfix is now the default MTA
        elif [ $i = "Exit" ]
        then
        exit;
        fi
        break
        done



If you run the script you will get a prompt and which MTA is default at present.

Code:
Current MTA: Postfix
1) Sendmail
2) Postfix
3) Exit
Please Select MTA:
