You still should be able to configure your web-based mail system to talk to
a remote SMTP server. I would be a bit surprised (and disappointed with it)
if it can only invoke a local sendmail command.

Otherwise you'll have to upgrade sendmail. But the new one will most likely
work just fine with all your current sendmail config files. You can pretty
safely just ignore the new features that provide things you don't want.
