Yes, just like I said.  One's a binary (the first one) the other two
are symlinks that point to it.

If you find you have a program that expects sendmail in yet another
location, you have a couple of choices.  Reconfigure that software.  Or
create a new symlink to the binary, in the location that software is
looking.

The alternatives scheme used symlinks.  Programs might request a
sendmail program.  And they'd look for something at a known location. 
The alternative thing would make a symlink from there that points to
the actual program on your system that was either sendmail, or an
equivalent.
