You are also correct, encrypting sendmail queries is not so critical, I
must say that I am a bit paranoid :) What I will anyway do is create an
account for sendmail and let only that sendmail user do queries to the
sendmail DNs on my LDAP server. I know that's supported by Sendmail.

I believe you are correct that Sendmail (without source hacking) will
not do an encrypted session. But, then, why would it? It is only doing
anonymous queries for specific mail attributes. Presumably, you are
doing these queries across your internal (presumably private) network
-- so nasty people shouldn't be able to sniff your traffic.
