It worked, thanks :)

Agreed. We should probably consult gshapiro about this, and just do it
if there's no objection. AFAIK, /etc/rc.d/sendmail is also used to
start alternative MTAs, so we can commit this patch for now, and think
about splitting /etc/rc.d/sendmail to something like:
src/etc/rc.d/sendmail
src/etc/rc.d/sendmail-submit
src/etc/rc.d/sendmail-outbound
src/etc/rc.d/sendmail-msp-queue
One thing to consider before a switch like this is that admins may have
installed scripts which assume that /etc/rc.d/sendmail is all they need :/
