modify sendmail so it doesn't get mail out of the queues

Well, the MailScanner rpm package init script supplies this option to
the "inbound" sendmail to keep it from running the queue:
-ODeliveryMode=queueonly
But that doesn't help unless you can also figure out how to use
different queue directories for your inbound and outbound queues (by
outbound I mean only "leaving the system", ie the queue where MS moves
messages after it's scanned them). Looks like you've already done that
though with "mqueue.scanned".
Mind if I ask what distribution this is? I'm 100% RHEL these days, and
this doesn't look familiar, though you have a mention of RHEL in the
comments.
