Hi folks,

the same error here!

Setting  the  sendmail  path in the dovecot configuration file doesn't
work! :-(

The  only  solution  until  no  is  hard-coding  the  sendmail path in
smtp-client.c!

BTW,  the  postmaster  setting  in  the  dovecot configuration file is
recognized!

Very strange! :-(
