I went ahead and unlink /usr/lib/sendmail from qmail's sendmail and
linked it back to the sendmail's original binary. Then redefined MAIL
to "mailx -r user at host.com -s" to restore the original behavior and at
the same time restricted qmail's smtpd with tcpserver.

I know some people suggest to use postfix for all, but that would be
off topic for this particular goal.
