It isn't the rpm's fault, it is actually linuxconf. Even if you did a
by-the-book (i.e. following Dan's instructions to the letter) qmail install,
linuxconf will follow the /usr/sbin/sendmail link and change the permissions
on /var/qmail/bin/sendmail for you. It does this even if you don't have the
sendmail rpm installed.
To stop it from making this change, I believe you can edit
/usr/lib/linuxconf/redhat/perm and remove the /usr/sbin/sendmail line.
