Why fight it? A sendmail daemon has been part of *nix forever, like cron
and lots of other stuff. It's the way the os works.
Let your installer install one, then edit the config so the MTA aliases
everything to a pipe to /dev/null -- if you're really, *really* sure you
don't want to know about it when the kernel determines that the world
will end in 5 minutes...
You can easily block port 25 in both directions on the external
interface if all you need to do is cut off the MTA's communication with
the outside world.
