Here is what we have in response. As sendmail is in /usr/local/sbin a search 
in /usr/sbin fails:
[root@dns1 /usr/ports/mail/postfix-policyd-spf-perl]# sh -c 'test -f 
/usr/sbin/sendmail && echo sendmail found'
[root@dns1 /usr/ports/mail/postfix-policyd-spf-perl]# cd /usr/sbin/
[root@dns1 /usr/sbin]# ls -l |grep sendmail

whereis shows its location:
[root@dns1 /usr/sbin]# whereis sendmail
sendmail: /usr/local/sbin/sendmail /usr/local/man/man1/sendmail.1.gz 
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail

And a modified search finds it:
[root@dns1 /usr/sbin]# sh -c 'test -f /usr/local/sbin/sendmail && echo 
sendmail found'
sendmail found
[root@dns1 /usr/sbin]#
