Did you create the smmsp user / group as part of the upgrade?  Required from
8.12.0 -

8.12.0/8.12.0   2001/09/08
*NOTICE*: The default installation of sendmail does not use
set-user-ID root anymore.  You need to create a new user and
a new group before installing sendmail (both called smmsp by
default).  The installation process tries to install
/etc/mail/submit.cf and creates /var/spool/clientmqueue by
default.  Please see sendmail/SECURITY for details.
