Been there, done that, bought the T-Shirt.
At one time, I had running on the same machine:
qmail - for speed and security.
sendmail V8 - for on-host delivery.
CDC mailhub - for X.400/X.500 communications.
I found the best idea to set up qmail on the standard SMTP port, clear
control/local to have it not handle any local mail, and set
control/smtproutes to deliver local and pseudo-local/X.400 mail to the
relevant subsystems on different ports of the same machine.
CDC Mail*Hub needed some trickery to make it believe it was not
sending mail to itself (like using different aliases in the
configuration files).
YMMV, of course, and I am *quite* happy to have a pure qmail
installation now (although X.500 or LDAP is waiting to be added back
in, but not for mail delivery).
