On OS X Postfix is installed using "sendmail" as a synonym. ;) Postfix 
accepts most out-of-the-box sendmail commands.  Do I have to edit 
sendmail.sl in any way? One of the three sendmail paths is valid on my 
OS X box!

mail.sl refers to "UCB_Mailer" which i have in /usr/sbin/Mail. How do I 
use it instead of sendmail? You write that sendmail is an "alternative 
interface". ;) TIA....
