No, it's not that simple, unfortunately. If that were the problem, the 
error would have included the location of sendmail it was trying to use, 
if I read the source correctly: execv(/usr/sbin/sendmail): No such file 
or directory. Plus, as I said, if I change the source to run 
/usr/sbin/sendmail, rather than pulling the config setting, it works.
