The documentation says it's not supposed to be used in the SMTP server. Interactive mode is probably only for those that directly start the sendmail binary. Maybe even just as a convenience for the "-v" switch. You really don't want interactive delivery, anyway. You want some sort of best-effort error-propagationable (*) delivery attempt, falling back to queued delivery if it isn't happening pronto.
