[BlueOnyx:22764] Problem fix and potential feature request

On my server, I don't allow any incoming mail on port 25 from
outside. I reconfigured mail to only come in on an alternate port in
sendmail (we will call it port 2627) but allow connections on port 25
for localhost which keeps the blueonyx admin mail as well as php mailer
functioning. My ironport which catches incoming mail and filters it then
delivers it to port 2627. I accomplish this with the following in
sendmail.mc 

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1,
Name=MTA')
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=2627, Name=MTA') 

This would be a great
feature to add to the system allowing the admin to specify on which port
sendmail listens. 

The problem that I'm having at the moment is that
after some updates and any reboot, blueonyx checks the sendmail
configuration and sees that there isn't a default smtp connection so it
adds one. After it adds one, the process will fail since it tries to
connect more than 1 to the socket. In short, where is the configuration
that adds this line so that I can disable that.... or at least give me
some further insight on how I can accomplish the same process without
breaking the mail on updates / reboots. 

Thanks in advance for any
insight.
