How do I completely remove sendmail? I have tried the following:

apt-get remove sendmail
apt-get purge sendmail

Sendmail is still there and running, how do I completely remove it and all config files?

To remove send mail completely you have to use:

apt-get purge sendmail*

(Note the * at the end.)
