ODMRD software you have mentioned uses its own "ODMR listener" stared by
inetd/xinets at port 366 [
http://www.plonk.de/sw/odmr/ "3. Setup server"].

/etc/xinetd.d/odmr:
service odmr
{
[....]
server = /usr/local/sbin/odmrd.pl
}

As I wrote you can make sendmail pass messages to exim executing "exim -bs"
(smtp over stdin/stdout) or you can make sendmail use another "BSMTP"
package/mailer than exim [exim can do much more, using it as nothing more than
sendmail's BSMTP mailer is a small insult to Phil (IMHO)]
All you need to make
http://www.plonk.de/sw/odmr/ work with sendmail is a way
to make sendmail create "per ODMR clinet" BSMTP files.

You may as "How to make sendmail create BSMTP files ?" in
news;comp.mail.sendmail crossposted to news:comp.mail.uucp [BSMTP is used
frequently for "over uucp" mail transfers]

Send me a CC: of the post.
[ I read news:comp.mail.sendmail less frequently tha I had used to do ]
P.S.
Because it it is exim-users@??? mailing list I must ask *the question*:
Have you considered replacing sendmail by exim ? [no sendmail]
Why is not it possible/good ?
