You can still use sendmail for sending out mail even if the daemon is stopped. You are probably being told not to run it as a daemon for receiving mail on your Amanda box. You should still get amanda reports even if you stop the daemon with '/etc/init.d/sendmail stop'. Outgoing mail is sendmail running from the command line.
