You don't say what OS/Version you are running, so it's hard to precise.
If you are running one of the RPM-based systems, then
         service MailScanner stop
         service MailScanner startin
will leave it just running the incoming sendmail but nothing else.
Then when you are finished upgrading,
         service MailScanner restart
to get it all going again.
