Well, the first hint in that case is that you shouldn't look at the
sendmail source at all, just create an appropriate mailer definition in
your configuration. I.e. use external program(s), invoked by sendmail
when sending, invoking sendmail when receiving.

It's not the absolutely most efficient way, but it doesn't sound like
this would be a concern for you, and it's how sendmail handles "all"
mail transport protocols except SMTP (OK, LMTP is also "internal", it
has to be of course - but it's almost SMTP anyway:-). In short, it's the
standard way.
