I accept that sendmail is not used for reading mail, but I'm fairly sure
my sendmail receives mail as well as sends it.  From /var/log/mail.log :

Dec 22 01:25:45 funkiest sendmail[4378]: BAA04378: from=<gnumeric
 -list-request@redhat.com>, size=1824, class=-30, pri=85824, nrcpts=1,
 msgid=<"1aOal2.0.oI2.-PTNu"@lists.redhat.com>, proto=SMTP, 
 relay=finch-punt-12.mail.demon.net [194.217.242.36]
