I inserted "sendmail", but still get the err. I am working on the syntax
to see if I can resolve the error. What does everyone else have installed
that the "mail" command works. I really don't care what MTA is used, just
so I can get the sample, and new configs to work. I assumed on the install
it would locate sendmail and insert the appropriate commands, but
obviously, I was wrong.
