Basically, you remove mmdf and then install sendmail using custom.  You 
have to "drill down" to find MMDF inside your OS listing, and you need 
your install cd to install sendmail (again drilling down to find it).

http://aplawrence.com/cgi-bin/ta.pl?107593 covers the
mechanics of that, but skips two important points:

1) Make a copy of your mmdf aliases files first, because
removing mmdf loses those.
2) You'll probably want to run "cnvtmbox" on usr mailboxes
during the switch

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
