The whole point of Postfix is that it is a drop-in replacement for
sendmail; of course `sendmail -t' works!  man 1 sendmail

SENDMAIL(1)                                           SENDMAIL(1)

NAME
       sendmail - Postfix to Sendmail compatibility interface

       [...]

       -t     Extract recipients from message headers.   This
              requires  that  no  recipients  be specified on the
              command line.

Jings.  `sendmail' *belongs* in `/usr/lib', if it's anywhere else then your
system is broken.

Now quit spreading rumours and get on with switching to Postfix.  :-)
