Yes it logs via syslog, however if it isn't told to log data to sm-mta and sm-msp, no amount of syslog directive is going to do that. It's something with the CentOS sendmail package that's disabling that.
When I do a stock Fedora install, I get three separate log files: /var/log/maillog /var/log/sm-mta /var/log/sm-msp
The same thing happens if I download the tarball from sendmail.org and install that. Three separate log files.
However, with CentOS, for some reason, it never logs anything to those sm-* files nor are they ever created.
I guess I'll have to break the yum dependency, remove the package and install sendmail manually to get those log files. Seems rather dumb.

Doesn't really matter, though...Sendmail logs via syslog, and syslog usually defaults, on a RH/CentOS system, to /var/log/maillog.
Double check /etc/rsyslog.log to be sure.

Sure, for those who want to run Postfix that's great. In my case, we run Sendmail. Simple package selection during installation.

My understanding is that Postfix has replaced Sendmail. At least on my 6.3 install. And I am happy for that.
