Though the combination sounds alarming, this is probably only a file
descriptor left open by whatever program called sendmail.  That program
should either close the file disable_ipv6 after use or set the
CLOSE_ON_EXEC flag in the file descriptor.

If you search for it, there are many such cases, even bug reports for
CentOS-7:

https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=12396

But no solution yet.

Which program calls sendmail in your case?
