Sendmail is running.  Other services (like yum-updatesd) are properly
sending mail.


$ ps -ef |grep sendmail
root      1803     1  0 09:17 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: accepting
connections
smmsp     1828     1  0 09:17 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: Queue
runner at 01:00:00 for /var/spool/clientmqueue
