You can see exactly what he said, since I've quoted it. qpsmtpd only

I've read through all the flags on the exim sendmail man-page and I
can't find one that will let you bypass the queue, which is what I think
you meant here.
I have never (knowingly) made any statements about exim.
I was poor in my choice of words. I should have said "... was implying
that sendmail injects messages into its queue via SMTP." Which is false.
However, every installation of sendmail, I have run has used SMTP to
send mail ;-)
Then you haven't been around. sendmail can deliver mail both locally and
remotely on systems which don't even have TCP/IP. ;-)
Can we stop now? qpsmtpd doesn't need any other SMTP listener to be
running. EOT.
