I think the cron file/setting is calling the new sendmail
binary included in qmail.
Check for all entries which call sendmail from cron and
disable it.
crontab -l will list all scheduled stuff.
If you find a sendmail entry, crontab -e will let you
edit the file, put a # and comment the sendmail entry
out, save&quit.
Recent linux distributions have the directories
/etc/cron.xyz
where xyz is hourly, daily, monthly (whatever).
Each directory has files in it which all get called from
/etc/crontab.
If you find the file that calls sendmail, then chmod 0
the file and you should be OK.
hope this helps,
jamie
ps
just to be curious,
did you disable all the old sendmail stuff and symlinks?
