Why? If you don't run Sendmail, just chmod 0000 /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
and it's gone.

Documentation to remove it: man chmod :-)

Or if you are paranoid, look under /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail/Makefile
and see where it lives in the system. Removing it and not beeing carefull
during the next make build will bring surprises.
