I don't run linux so I can't help much with this one, but that's probably
what you want. Also make sure it's not currently running.

Find your way to: http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html (it's called
Life With Qmail) and follow the instructions to using tcpserver. You
will be farther ahead than using inetd and it's MUCH more reliable.
To avoid confusion, tcpserver comes in the ucspi-tcp package.

Try renaming your existing sendmail binary to sendmail.old (I usually even
chmod it to 000) and create a link from /var/qmail/bin/sendmail to where
sendmail was (eg. ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail).
