Typically, the Sendmail daemon doesn't have to be running. Sendmail
will simply deliver the mail. A noted exception would be if the
configuration (i.e., sendmail.cf) specifies queueing-only mode. That
(semi-obviously) would throw the mail into the spool directory, and
then yes, the daemon has to be running to do queue runs.
What's more likely is that sendmail is not in PATH. One reason for
this might be that Sendmail isn't on the system at all :^)
