You will notice that /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail doesn't get updated when make installworld. What you are seeing in /usr/sbin/sendmail is the mailwrapper, which is called "sendmail" for compatibility. What you should do is put: NO_SENDMAIL=true NO_MAILWRAPPER=true in your /etc/make.conf. Then you won't have your existing sendmail (or other MTA) clobbered.
