That would work, but the proper place is in rc.M just below where you
comment out the original sendmail startup.

> "qmail stop"   somewhere in the rc.0 or rc.6 local script (top section)?

That would go in rc.6, and again in rc.K, both at the top before the
original script kills all processes. (BTW, rc.0 should already be a
symlink to rc.6.)

This is for the new style init. I doubt seriously you get anything but
error messages if you attempt this.

Edit as mentioned above. Forget the symlink, it'll break your shutdown.

You should give your system it's own hostname. ;-)
