No, in the previous version this was all done by a single script
(sendmail+mailscanner).

Just modifying the existing sendmail startup script like documented on
that link also does not work, since the pid file management breaks
(typical sendmail init scripts don't know how to deal with multiple pid
files, queues etc) and then you don't have any clean way to start and stop
things.
