Another thing you need to be made aware of....  "sendmail" may not be "sendmail".

/usr/sbin/sendmail is more than likely a symbolic link

[egreshko at meimei ~]$ ll /usr/sbin/sendmail

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 21 Jul 31 10:11 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /etc/alternatives/mta

and then

[egreshko at meimei ~]$ ll /etc/alternatives/mta

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 27 Jul 31 10:11 /etc/alternatives/mta -> /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail
