from my /etc/mailer.conf (3.3) I see clearly:

$ ls -al `awk '/^sendmail/ {print $2}' /etc/mailer.conf`
-r-xr-sr-x  1 root  smmsp  581632 Mar 29 20:57 /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
$ grep smmsp /etc/passwd /etc/group
/etc/passwd:smmsp:*:25:25:Sendmail Message Submission Program:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin
/etc/group:smmsp:*:25:

cheers,
