Not sendmail, but OS X has a built-in copy of Postfix that does not load
at system boot. I've had some problems with it in the past on another
host and I prefer my open souce stuff to be quarantined off to the
MacPorts tree on my HD. Anyway, the MacPorts one (/opt/local = MacPorts
ports) seems to be the only one running:

  695 ?? Ss 0:03.71 /opt/local/libexec/postfix/master
 3623 ?? Ss 0:00.01 /opt/local/bin/daemondo --label=postfix
--start-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/....... (startup scripts for
MacPorts)
