Yes, thank you for this. However, there seems to be an issue with the suggested fix: sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/bin I get a dud: lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 18 Jun 11 21:50 /usr/bin/sendmail -> /usr/sbin/sendmail with the "/usr/sbin/sendmail" grayed out by the terminal (xterm). And of course, this did not work: I guess I do not have /usr/sbin/sendmail on F42.
