Good to know sendmail has friends in high places :)

Just curious, does it mean that a user can type "sendmail -oi -t" and
have Exim (or Postfix, or whatever non-sendmail MTA is installed) do
the expected thing?

Which also must mean that a Debian machine running Exim must have a
sendmail symlink pointing to a wrapper script that will translate
sendmail options into those of Exim's. And the same for Postfix and the
others.

I'm impressed...
