Unless there has been a drastic change, ns_sendmail is just a mail client and sends mail to the configured SMTP mail host, defaulting to localhost. It doesn't directly invoke the sendmail binary.

Thanks for all the comments! This has really helped me clear up the issues concerning how Postfix can be used to replace fully qmail if desired. When I get the time (hopefully sooner rather than later), I'm going to spend a while testing out various configurations - particularly with regards to processing incoming mail - and when I'm done I should be able to produce something for the install docs. Thanks again.
