| Indeed it doesn't.  But then:

| [ -e /usr/sbin/sendmail ] && rm -f /usr/sbin/sendmail.exe

| does run.

OK, I see what's happening.
 [ -e /usr/sbin/sendmail ]  as well as [ -L /usr/sbin/sendmail ] are true
when sendmail does not exist while sendmail.exe does.
I need a much more elaborate test to detect when both exist.
Thanks for the report.
