I haven't yet tried this, but I believe you can get RH to stop throwing
   sendmail at you during the install simply by creating an empty RPM, naming
   it sendmail, and setting it's version to 99.99, or something like that.  I
   do not believe that RH's installer overwrites high-versioned RPMs.

Well, I have not tried to do this with sendmail proper, but I had
nmh-1.0 installed, and it got replaced by 6.0's nmh-0.27 during the upgrade.
Sad.
