Sendmail was most likely install via rpm, so you can just 'rpm -q -a | grep -i sendmail | more' then just 'rpm -e' the sendmail rpms.

No, | is exactly what it looks like. You should type the command exactly as it was written. | and all. :)

It's the pipe command. It means "take output from what we just did, and feed it as input into the next command.
Pretty cool once you figure it out...
::grins, ashamed of how long it took him to figure out::

Ok... and where do I find this character on my keyboard?

[kzona]

On most keyboards it is shift+ \. Mine is right above the enter key :\

Is there any way to delete programs and all related files if you compiled and installed yourself (not rpm)?

[ansivirus]

Well first thing to do is check for an uninstall script that may have come with it.. other wise maybe try make uninstall

i dunno.. :) it's just a guess i've never actually worried about it.. I just either delete the damn files... :)

Look at the "Install from source" NHF it says exactly what you need to know.
