I manually created an empty /run/sm-client.pid and set the ownership to

It failed again as before but after the failure, /run/sm-client.pid did not

What is actually trying to write/read the PID file?
/usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q1h
From `man sendmail`
-Ac Use submit.cf even if the operation mode does not indicate an initial mail
submission.
If I run the sendmail command manually, no PID file is mentioned nor created.
Did you use the same command as above?
Yes.
You've explained the -Ac but what does the -L do (apart from appearing in the
log)?
(As an aside, my copy of the sendmail manual is virtually unreadable. man
sendmail looks like this:

That is, all the escape sequences do not escape.
All other man pages are AOK.)
