Okay... on my (very lightly loaded) system...
lsof|grep sendmail|wc -l
     17

Are you passing the -l flag? Otherwise you're counting words I think.

Otherwise... that's rather high for your sendmail. What does your queue

Ummm... that's all I can think of that could cause this.

It also looks like someother process has the rest of the filehandles...
