The above URL points to Red Hat Network, and expects you to log in. Did that ever really work before?

You might try this one instead:

http://updates.redhat.com/7.1/en/os/i386/sendmail-8.11.6-23.71.i386.rpm

And you may want the other associated updated packages as well:

http://updates.redhat.com/7.1/en/os/i386/sendmail-cf-8.11.6-23.71.i386.rpm
http://updates.redhat.com/7.1/en/os/i386/sendmail-devel-8.11.6-23.71.i386.rpm
http://updates.redhat.com/7.1/en/os/i386/sendmail-doc-8.11.6-23.71.i386.rpm
