After a bit more research at qmail.org I'm inclined to say 'so
long' to sendmail. Thanks for your invaluable feedback, and yes --

Here is a major problem -- we anticipate growing our lists, and
handling volume is a priority. Better to make a profound change
early, I say. I think we'll leave sendmail for the more powerful
qmail.

You've been a great help, thank you!
