I reinvoked sendmail using the -O QueueDirectory= option and then it worked fine. I was using a physical directory before named /var/spool/mqueue -- I had deleted the symlink after it found out it wasn't working. The physical directory and the symlink now both work fine. I reinvoked once with QueueDirectory and then again without, and it works.
