My two pet hates... text/html and q-p for ordinary email. Totally
unnecessary, extremely ugly, a waste of bandwidth, and a PITA to deal with.
Please don't use it... turn it off in your mailer.
Now, with that off my chest...

Sendmail is *not* a pop server. I hope you haven't got inetd configured to
call it for answering port 110 requests! There are other daemons that are
designed to do that.
In my own /etc/inetd and /etc/services files...
% grep -i pop /etc/inetd.conf /etc/services
/etc/inetd.conf:#pop-2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop2d
/etc/inetd.conf:#pop2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.pop2d
/etc/inetd.conf:#pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d
/etc/inetd.conf:#pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.pop3d
/etc/services:pop-2 109/tcp # PostOffice V.2
/etc/services:pop-3 110/tcp # PostOffice V.3
/etc/services:pop 110/tcp # PostOffice V.3
/etc/services:kpop 1109/tcp # Pop with Kerberos
I have pop turned off (commented out) in my /etc/inetd.conf file as I'm not
using this box as a pop server. But you get the idea.

In your /etc/services file.

Yes. I forget which one. Oh hang on... (a quick grep later) RFC 1700
See http://info.internet.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc1700.txt
