     The debian package for sqwebmail overwrote my symlinks to sendmail.
/usr/sbin/sendmail -> exim4
/usr/lib/sendmail -> ../sbin/exim4
     Replacing those symlinks with my functional ones,
rm /usr/sbin/sendmail
rm /usr/lib/sendmail
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
.    gave me the autoreplies and forwarding.

     Coincidentally, upgrading OpenBSD does something similar, introducing a symlink unusable on my system:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -> /usr/sbin/mailwrapper
     which I undo simply by doing,
rm /usr/sbin/sendmail
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail

     Thanks.
