Disassociate /usr/lib/sendmail from /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
# rm /usr/lib/sendmail (or /usr/sbin/sendmail depending on your machine)
# ln -s /usr/lib/sendmail.orig /usr/lib/sendmail ( or .../sbin/...)
Disassociate /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd from port 25
# svc -d /var/run/smtpd (presuming you're running supervise)
or
# kill `ps ax | grep "tcpserver.*[ ]25 " | awk '{print $1}'` (presuming tcpserver)
or
# perl -pi.bak -e 's/^smtp/#$&/;' /etc/inetd.conf
# kill `ps ax | grep "inetd" | awk '{print $1}'` (presuming inetd)
Run sendmail with some reasonable parameters, e.g.:
# /usr/lib/sendmail -q 15m -bd
No need to uninstall qmail.
