Qmail includes a 'sendmail' binary. It's a wrapper that takes all
the sendmail arguments and passes them to qmail correctly. You
symlink your normal sendmail location to this wrapper, and all is well.

Regarding qmail's complexity - I am nothing close to an email expert
and I have no doubt that qmail is more complex than I'm really aware
of. But I was able to set it up to do exactly what I want with just
a few days of reading and tinkering. (I did the whole process
several times just to be sure I knew what was going on.) I beat my
head against Exim configuration for much longer and got nowhere, so
qmail was a very nice surprise.
