No, not on my box (as far as i believe 'ls' and 'file' ;-) :

% ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 26 jan 23:54 /usr/sbin/sendmail ->
/usr/sbin/mailwrapper

% file /usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail: symbolic link to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper

The mailwrapper manpage also pretends it's a symlink...
