My solution was to use the rm command liberally on the shipped mail junk
and then replacing it with the latest sendmail+IDA package.  Things
actually work now, and IDA lets you generate configurations for just about
any situation just by defining a few things in a template and running
make.  Out comes a sendmail.cf and you're off and running.
