After updating to f42 I noticed that I could not send email from the command line:

/home/sfalco/dead.letter 8/143
s-nail: ... message not sent

Looking in /usr/sbin there indeed was no sendmail program.  I fixed that by doing:

cd /usr/sbin ; ln -s ../bin/sendmail.postfix sendmail

I guess this is related to the consolidation of /usr/sbin and /usr/bin.

There was a second problem: postfix was not running.  It was simple to re-enable it via systemctl but I'm surprised that it was somehow turned off as part of the upgrade from f41 to f42.

Yes, I've seen a number of issues on a postfix mail platform that I've not yet got to the bottom of.
