There you go. On my FC2 system, 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls -lL /usr/sbin/sendmail
-rwxr-sr-x  1 root smmsp 720484 Apr 15  2004 /usr/sbin/sendmail

Your cp -r has f*ed up the owner/group of the sendmail binary.

Next time, you will do it the right way, I suppose. Now you have a
totally fubared system, since all setuid/setgid files have lost their
owner/group information I guess. Better to reinstall I suppose (unless
you have the old /usr still handy).
