A lot of the documentation assumes that you are installing qmail on a mail
server that's currently in use. Since you would obviously want to keep
downtime to a minimum, the recommendation is to install qmail and make sure
it's working properly before you begin trashing sendmail.
Since you have a fresh system that nobody is using yet, it won't matter when
you yank out sendmail, so go ahead and tear it out before hand if that is
your preference.
