you can disable sendmail by modifying your startup scripts in /etc/rc.d/
or just chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail (as root), so it cannot be
executed.

a nice alternative to sendmail is qmail (http://www.qmail.org). it is
supposed to be more secure. the author offered an award to anyone who
could break it, but i believe he never had to pay.
