No, it doesn't. The GUI still creates Sendmail config files for anything 
email related. The way our Postfix integration works is that the Systemd 
Unit-File for Postfix parses the Sendmail configurations on the fly 
whenever Postfix is (re)started. And generates Postfix a configuration 
based on the Sendmail configuration.

That's why we leave /etc/alternatives/mta set to Sendmail. Because 
otherwise that mechanism breaks.
