Postfix is compatible with sendmail. It provides a wrapper program also
named sendmail to act as a replacement. This is standard in Unix/Linux
machines. Usually you only have on MTA program installed that can either
be sendmail, postfix, qmail, exim, etc.. If you use the mail() function,
it uses whatever is installed in your machine because by default it
calls the sendmail program.
