No you got it all wrong /usr/sbin/sendmail is a standart way to inject
mail, all MTA have this file (normail file or a symbolic link). Any
program will try to use theese files. And if you will have theese files
there will be no need to specify the path for each user and each MUA your
users will have installed.
P.S. If you dont wont to upgrade (what a word) a MTA then you should try
qmail.
