In the REMOVE.binmail file it just says to link it to a usable mailer.  I looked
at the mail and mutt man page and they seemed to be command line compliant.  I
would guess that most mailers are compliant that way.  You could just symlink
/bin/mail to /usr/bin/mutt or whatever...

Another option is to leave sendmail on the system in conjunction with qmail, but
I doubt that is really necessary.
