Yah, Debian... here's my setup:

root at pangaea:/etc/mail# cat sendmail.conf | grep -v ^# | grep -v ^$
DAEMON_MODE="Daemon";
DAEMON_PARMS="-ODeliveryMode=queueonly
-OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in";DAEMON_HOSTSTATS="Yes";
DAEMON_MAILSTATS="No";
QUEUE_MODE="${DAEMON_MODE}";
QUEUE_INTERVAL="10";
QUEUE_PARMS="";
MSP_MODE="${QUEUE_MODE}";
MSP_INTERVAL="${QUEUE_INTERVAL}";
MSP_PARMS="${QUEUE_PARMS}";
MSP_MAILSTATS="No";
MISC_PARMS="";
CRON_MAILTO="root";
CRON_PARMS="";
AGE_DATA="";
DAEMON_STATS="${DAEMON_MAILSTATS}";
MSP_STATS="${MSP_MAILSTATS}";

Looks to me like it *should* be using mqueue.in to deliver incoming
messages...
