Edit /etc/init.d-directory, or look in /etc/rc.boot. There should be an
entry for xinetd somewhere, and if there is none, you have to add. For
automatic loading at boot, you also need to edit the /etc/rc2(?).d-directory.

Very often, sendmail is running as a daemon, and smail is running from
inetd. Maybe that's causing your problems. But.. what isn't sendmail doing
exactly?
