You may be trying to execute a directory insead of a program (there is
also a directory in /etc called sendmail).  Try it like this:

	/usr/lib/sendmail -bt

This works for me, even as a normal user.  When you use this test mode,
you have to type the address with a colon in it, like

	/usr/lib/sendmail -bt
	ADDRESS TEST MODE
	enter <ruleset> <address>
	> To: foo@bar

Regards,
 Glenn
