Since qmail has a sendmail wrapper to begin with, as noted above, and it
is put in as a replacement (marking the original to sendmail.old), in
/usr/lib/sendmail, and /usr/sbin/sendmail why would you need the above in
mailer.conf?

Any non-sendmail mailer, I am assuming you mean those which require the
input of an actual SMTP source, can of course be set for SMTP as
localhost, 127.0.0.1, or the actual LAN IP address. 
 
BTW, the actual example script  given on lifewithqmail.org for creating groups and
users for qmail, is for FreeBSD.
