I have to agree with Kyle -- though it's probably possible, it will be
somewhat difficult and will have other limitations. For instance, messages
sent by the list that get bounced after the initial SMTP conversation will end
up coming back through sendmail -- will it preserve the (complicated)
recipient address which was the list's VERPed envelope sender?
Is there a particular reason you don't want to just use the system's sendmail
daemon?
Is the server multihomed? If you can get root access and a separate IP address,
there's no reason you couldn't have a normal qmail installation handling the
mailing list while the rest of the system's mail is processed with sendmail,
etc.
