I'm running Fedora-24(beta)/KDE, and sendmail/email (through KMail) is failing. When I try to send email I get the warning "Failed to transmit message", and journalctl has the entry "sendmail.service: PID file /run/sendmail.pid not readable (yet?) after start: No such file or directory".
I use Sendmail with Systemd on Centos-7 without difficulty. I realize that Centos-7 is somewhat far frmo Fedora, but at least they are cousins, so there ought to be at least a little value in knowing it can be done.
My first suggestion is to run postfix instead. :-)
Assuming that is not acceptable, what does "systemctl status sendmail" show? Open a couple of terminal windows, run "tail -f/var/log/audit/audit.log" in one and "journalctl -f --all" in the other. Then try "systemctl restart sendmail" and see what output you get from that and what shows up in those other terminal windows.
