It is even pretty simple to switch off the sendmail daemon and only run
the queueing submission agent:
1) edit /etc/sysconfig/sendmail and set
"DAEMON=no"
2) edit /etc/mail/submit.mc and set
FEATURE(`msp', `[IP.of.relayhost]')dnl
Given the sendmail-cf RPM is already installed a "service sendmail
restart" is enough to a light, direct submitting sendmail setup.
