Yes, you can run it as a daemon by using the -D flag, and then truss with
the -f flag to follow forks will work.  Note that you can't do this if
innd is also running and binding to the same port, though.

Shouldn't be.

I'm honestly not sure what all checks sendmail may perform; if you try to
inject the same message by hand using the same sendmail line as the above,
including the Sender header with the nonexistent e-mail address, does
sendmail exit with a nonzero status?  (echo $? after running the command
will give you the status.)
