Sorry, I misunderstood your "I have not had time to replace with other
mail packages" -- I thought this "had" implied you do have time now.
Anyways, Exim is easy to install and use and test even while sendmail is
doing its job (by testing on an alternative port). Then once it works, the
down time would be less than a second when sendmail is stopped and exim
started (using standard port).
The server itself would not need to be rebuilt. In fact, if you use
Debian's Exim package, you could have the basics installed and configured
within minutes.
