Well, yes.  You can delete sendmail by doing "rpm -e sendmail", or you
can "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop", then delete the sendmail binary
and all of the symbolic links for it:

	/usr/sbin/sendmail
	/usr/lib/sendmail
	others (use "find / -name sendmail -print" for a full list)

If you don't "rpm -e sendmail", you'll get nagged for updates if you
use up2date whenever a new version comes out, since the entry for
sendmail will remain in your RPM database.
