I haven't been following all of this thread, but... it looks like you're not aware that ps has an option to show environment variables of a running process. ps ewwwwwwwwwp`pidof sendmail` would be a much easier way to find what you're looking for. Or even </proc/`pidof sendmail`/environ tr '\0' '\n'|fgrep TZ
Whenever I've seen a single process not finding the correct timezone while all others do, it's been a case of libc version skew. libc5 looks for /usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime for the default timezone, and libc6 looks for /etc/localtime. If you don't have a pure system (only one libc and no static linking), one of these should be a symlink to the other.
