Are you _sure_ that /usr/sbin/sendmail is the sendmail binary and not a
symlink to something else?

Are you sure there aren't any scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ or
launched from the file /etc/rc.local which try to run smail?

These are the things I would check before going any further.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
