My guess is that it is used when sendmail is invoked for sending mail
instead of acting as a MTA.
man sendmail says:
-Ac Use submit.cf even if the operation mode does not indicate an
initial mail submission.
and from man mailq:
-Ac Show the mail submission queue specified in /etc/mail/submit.cf
instead of the MTA queue specified in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
I could find no more from grep'ing the man pages. Google, however, seems
to confirm this. You did look there first, right...?
