Hello,
There have been a few people complaining that having installed
sendmail they were in a dependency catch 22 situation when
attempting to install smail. (unable to remove sendmail or
install smail)
This command solved the problem for me:

Todd,
Do you disagree? Aren't you simply saying that you'd go down the 'pared
down kernel route'? (Note: when I say pared down, I don't preclude the
possibility of using modules.)
