Yes, it has:

#:/var/spool# ls -l
total 888
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Aug 23  2002 cron
drwxrwsr-x    4 lp       lp           4096 Mar 20  2003 lpd
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            7 Jul 11  2002 mail -> ../mail
drwxr-x---    5 mail     mail         4096 Sep 26 02:35 mailscanner
drwxr-s---    2 root     smmsp      872448 Sep 26 15:26 mqueue
drwxrws---    2 smmsp    smmsp        4096 Sep 26 15:25 mqueue-client
drwxr-x---    2 root     smmsp        4096 Sep 23 13:43 mqueue.in
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Mar 20  2003 squirrelmail

Could you tell me what config files actually changed from the sendmail.conf
entry?

It works for me on Debian Testing.  Make sure the /var/spool/mqueue.in
directory has been created otherwise the instance being spawned will die
with an error. :)
