rpm -e spamassassin rpm -e mutt rpm -e procmail rpm -e sendmail
And then made sure all the sendmail configs were deleted in /etc/mail
Then ran apt-get install sendmail (with the fedoranews.org howto configs)
Installed, configured, and runs beautiful now.
Just the answer on what fixed me if anyone else has this problem and searches the archives.

With this setting Sendmail is bound to only listen on localhost. With
this setting you can not receive mail from outside the mail host. Either
set a "dnl" in front of that line or add at least one additional
DAEMON_OPTIONS() line to let Sendmail listen on an outbound IP. (This is
documented in the sendmail.mc file tiself.)

Wrong permissions on /var/spool/mail! So the POP3 daemon is complaining.
chmod 775 /var/spool/mail chown root.mail /var/spool/mail
User mailbox files have chmod 660 and chown $USER.mail
