Run "systemctl mask sendmail" as well. That should permanently
disable the service.
Worthwhile thing to do; still curious about what caused it, but if this
will lock it out.....
I am trying to find out what package update caused this to switch; or
which logfile to look at to show me the systemctl messages that show
the enable/disable sequence and points me to the correct package to
file the bug against.

If the problem is a trigger on the sendmail package, it could run
without any changes to the sendmail package itself.
Ah, yes, indeed. Only three packages are output: sendmail itself,
postfix, and the third party software; postfix did get an update
recently, and after checking to see I didn't reboot after that update.
And the postfix scriptlets do twiddle with alternatives, using the
--initscripts command to alternatives; and this is what I believe did me in.
So, it seems as part of my setup that I failed to set the alternatives
properly, and that has been corrected, as well as setting 'systemctl
mask sendmail' so we'll see how that rides...
Thanks, Gordon!
