Wouldn't it be best to create two seperate sendmail.cf files, one for delivery-only mode (sendmail.cf) and the other for queue-only mode (sendmaild.cf). Then sendmail could take a minor patch to check argv[0] - if it's called as sendmaild, read sendmaild.cf, otherwise read sendmail.cf. Anyways the implementation details would be worked out somewhere else, that's just a thought.
