I can't speak for qmail, but Postfix has its own sendmail binary which
it installs in /usr/local/sbin. If that's in your path, just rename the
old sendmail binary to something like sendmail.OLD.

Same with mailq and newaliases.

Postfix, because it took less than an hour to build, install, and
configure.
