Well sledge hammers work.
I would have moved /etc/mail to /etc/mail-old-need-2-compareXXX
Then reinstall the RPMs.  This would permit a comparison of
the config file contents and permissions.

I am surprised you did not quickly address the permission
issues clearly specified in the log files.

I also did not see a message where you checked for and resolved
changes in files like sendmail.mc.rpmnew and other *.rpmnew *rpmsave
files.  i.e.:
   /etc/mail/submit.cf.rpmnew
   /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.rpmnew
   /etc/mail/sendmail.mc.rpmnew
