The sendmail(1) command follows essentially the same instance selection
mechanism as other Postfix utilities. While for Sendmail-compatibility
reasons the configuration flag is "-C" instead of "-c", it also processes
the MAIL_CONFIG environment variable, when no "-C" option is specified
explicitly. Thus, I would expect this configuration to "just work".
I believe that the environment passed from the pipe(8) daemon to the
child process includes the correct MAIL_CONFIG setting for the
current instance. If you test this, you will likely find that no
special configuration is required.
