This means that sendmail is a valid option for hosts.allow or hosts.deny as sendmail has been compiled with support for libwrap.
Sure. The point was that the poster expected tcpwrapper to take and process the connection and not sendmail. But this could only happen if sendmail were not running as a standalone daemon and tcpd were responsible for port 25 via inetd. Support for libwrap just means that sendmail can make use of it while *it* is processing the mail.
