I have been using Postfix as a Sendmail replacement for a fair number of years. Within FreeBSD we have a /etc/mail/mailer.conf that has the following: # Execute the Postfix sendmail program, named /usr/local/sbin/sendmail # sendmail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail send-mail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail mailq /usr/local/sbin/sendmail newaliases /usr/local/sbin/sendmail So if you use the compatibility interface you're essentially assured of a flawless operation. I have not tested this with Evergreen, but I suspect no issues at all.
