On my Stable box built yesterday, sendmail won't do its job:

Jun 21 09:45:13 msgate sendmail[2093]: f5L5Quj01649: SYSERR(root):
Cannot exec /
bin/mail: No such file or directory

FreeBSD msgate.ms-agentur.de 4.3-STABLE FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #0: Wed Jun
20 12:04:
38 CEST 2001     root@msgate.ms-agentur.de:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MSGATE 
i386

Looking through /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, /bin/mail is mentioned as local
delivery agent. "which mail" locates /usr/bin/mail instead. Fixing the
path in sendmail.cf and HUPing sendmail, sendmail moans about "unknown
mailer error 1" when trying to clear the queue.

Where should the path be fixed? Sending a PR can be difficult, since
send-pr also tries to use the nonfunctional sendmail :/

Thanks for your assistance
