assuming qmail is listening on port 25 why would you want a different port?

anyway the relevant line of a sendmail.cf file is:

Mfunnysmtp, P=[IPC], F=meDFMuXa, S=11/31, R=21, E=\r\n,
L=990, A=IPC $h <PORT>

replace <PORT> with the number of the port you want to connect to.

you then need to hack the ruleset 0 to route into this mailer ...

Creating a mailer definition that calls qmail-inject would do the
trick. See the diagram at the top of the INTERNALS document, and
you'll recognize the programs I mentioned.

Someone mentioned a perl script that would write to a maildir, and
the mailer spec to go along with it. I've forgotten whether the
mailer def had the 'n' and 'P' flags in it. My reading of the
format for messages in a maildir indicates sendmail would need
those flags.

As someone else pointed out (I think), you can get sendmail to do
this. Just look at the docs for the mailer definitions.

I have a delivery agent that will deliver to a Maildir. It is
actually written to deliver to the perl NNTP server that I use, but
the agent first delivers to a maildir for reliability. The code would
need some work before it could be used as a full fledged mail delivery
agent. Let me know if you would like a copy.
