    Has anyone figured out how to use sendmail instead of /bin/mail for
delivering local mail (send using mailx).  Setting the mailx (or environment)
variable "sendmail" to "/usr/lib/sendmail" is supposed to accomplish this.
However, when I try this, I get error messages of "(Resetting uid)" returned
by mailx, and error messages like:

Sep 20 13:26:56 newton sendmail[13443]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: queuename:
Cannot create "qf~Z13443" in "/usr/spool/mqueue": No such file or directory

in the /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog file.  This certainly looks like some
sort of permissions problem, but I haven't been able track it down.
