Do you really need more than one MTA in a desktop spin? Sendmail is the
default so it can stay.
The last MTA you want in a dekstop spin is sendmail. There is absolutely
zero question about it. It's only kept as default in RHEL to placate old
solaris admins & because at very high load (central ISP/bigcorp mail
node) it's rumoured to be a little faster if configured by a sendmail
guru.
None of those (bad¹) reasons apply to the desktop spin
¹ someday when the sendmail people start pushing sendmail X people will
realise the king has no clothes and we've been pushing the wrong
implementation for years
