Easy - its still installed.
rpm --erase sendmail
and all your problems will go away :-)
Seriously, you are making real work for yourself here. If you don't
want sendmail, then take it off the system. Even better use an exim rpm
too - which will force the removal of sendmail since its set to conflict
with it - and for free gives you the startup scripts.
Even better, with the RH 7.2 upgrade, RH no longer helpfully puts
sendmail back again on a system with exim installed.
