You may be correct here --- I recall doing a killall sendmail and killall sendmail-mta after seeing them running post /etc/init.d/stop which I did after upgrade which I saw went wrong. However, some permissions definitely went wrong during the upgrade: > > To make delivery work I had to change permissions > > for /var/spool/mqueue from drwxr-s--- to drwxrwsrwx I later saw that when i start sendmail, it failed to properly write its PID to the appropriate /var/run/sendmail/m* directories. The fix was to do a chmod g+w /var/run/sendmail/m* and to add root to both the smmta and smmsp groups. Also, I had after the upgrade permission denied errors wrt creating things in /var/lib/sendmail/host_status. The dir was drwxr-sr-x root:smmsp. The fix was to remove the dir altogether and restart sendmail, which then recreated it as root:smmta with the same perms mask. I'll retitle the bug now.
