Re: Sendmail Path

It is a standard part of the qmail install to setup a wrapper script which answers sendmail command calls and invokes qmail to serve the functions required. If this was elected during the linux install of qmail -- (something for you to determine -- try $which sendmail and check the ls -l of the file; if it is tiny, cat it -- it will be a script invoking qmail -- if it is not a small file don't cat it -- it'll be the binary and will mess up your terminal session, at least ) -- it will not require any tweaks to use exactly asif it were sendmail, as far as PHP scripts are concerned.
