I have not tried this but give it a go.

Edit the file "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail"
Here is a clip of the top of that file;

---------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
#
# sendmail      This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
#               sendmail.
#
# chkconfig: 2345 80 30
# description: Sendmail is a Mail Transport Agent, which is the program \
#              that moves mail from one machine to another.
# processname: sendmail
# config: /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
# pidfile: /var/run/sendmail.pid

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

##### Insert here the replacement for 'echo_success()' function. This 
should replace the one buillt into the above 'functions' include.

echo_success() {
  [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && $MOVE_TO_COL
  echo -n "["
  [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && $SETCOLOR_SUCCESS
  echo -n $"  Success  "
  [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && $SETCOLOR_NORMAL
  echo -n "]"
  echo -ne "\r"
  return 0
}

# Source networking configuration.
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/network ] && . /etc/sysconfig/network
--------------------------------------------
Save it and reboot. Let me know if this works.
