More than just a few. The entire mail system is based around qmail, including
domain handling and pseudonyms. The Obtuse SMTPD RPM checks whether qmail
or sendmail is installed at install time and creates the appropriate links.

When we last looked at OpenMail, it required sendmail as it did specific
changes to the sendmail configuration files (which is naughty in itself,
sendmail configs should be built from m4 sources). It is not just a simple 
matter of calling the qmail "sendmail" wrapper.

So, even when people get OpenMail installed and working, there is going
to be a lot of configuration/integration work to make it work with qmail. 

And we will not be changing e-smith to use sendmail for security, performance
and reliability reasons.
