Short answer: no.
Long answer: yes. You need to install the scalix-server RPM with "rpm --nodeps". This, of course, is rather dangerous as you're ignoring all dependencies. I should also add that the reason we check for the RPM is that we make some assumptions about the way that sendmail was built and by using your own sendmail you may well be breaking those assumptions. The long and short of that is that we're not going to be able to provide you with any support for your installation if the problems are at all related to sendmail.
If you're running RHEL3 or RHEL4 then yes, sendmail is "old" because they're supposed to be stable platforms. Of course, old doesn't mean that any outstanding bugs haven't been fixed: Red Hat backports fixes into the version that ships with the platform. If you are running RHEL then you've presumably paid for support which you've now blown away.
Out of interest, what is it that you want from a newer version?
