We would then have to find someone willing to write that stub SMTP 
client, maintain it, provide assistance to users...
Couldn't we just recommend people to install a modern and full-featured 
MTA like Postfix to benefit from DSN (Delivery Status Notifications) and 
configure bounces?
Any stub client we could write ourselves would be far inferior than 
well-spread and tested MTAs...

These options could be mentioned for sendmail in a comment in the 
inn.conf sample file like you suggested.  Or the sample could explicitly 
say to refer to the mta documentation in the inn.conf manual page (as 
documentation is updated with news versions of INN whereas configuration 
files are kept untouched, so any changes in comments won't be seen).
