To get these messages in console, it sounds like you are logged in as root.

The messages have a purpose or they would not be sent to root. I would
not remove sendmail to stop the system messages. You could either use
your mail reader to read, then delete the messages after reviewing if
anything is erroring, or if it is a message related to completed tasks.


running as root, disabling sentry services sounds too dangerous to me.
