They co-exist.  They even have their own FAQ entry right on the JAMES server
menu: http://james.apache.org/server/james_and_sendmail.html.

What I have done probably won't help you much.  I needed to generate  
the email from a database anyway, so I just passed in the row index,  
and forgot about all the other stuff, grabbed it from MySQL instead.

Still your script got me out of a tight spot quickly, so I am in your  
debt.

sendmail.py was my first python program.  Fixes and enhancements are
welcomed.  :-)

I tried altering the script, but had no luck.  My next avenue was to  
try disabling sendmail, and use the sendmail.py script that comes  
with James.  While this worked from the commandline, it was not  
working from php.  I took the python code, and altered it to suit my  
needs, and am now using it happily from an exec() command in php.  
Sendmail is disabled, and all php mails go through james via my  
python script.

I wrote the faq. Its old now.
Try changing the script, let us know how you get on and I'll update the faq.

I've been working with that, but the directions on the page do not  
bear much resemblance to my sendmail install. For instance, there is  
no DAEMON=yes line in my sendmail.conf.  I nca set DAEMON_MODE to  
'none', but that seems to do something different.

Sendmail.cf has a DS line, but no DH, or DR.  I can add them in, but  
I am suspicious of them not being there.

This looks more like the solution to me.  This means that I can  
uninstall sendmail, and trick PHP into using James for it, correct?
