[Dovecot] Default sendmail_path value
It appears the documentation of this parameter is inconsistent with the documentation:
> grep -nF /sendmail `gfind src -type f`
src/lib-lda/lda-settings.c:41: .sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail",
src/config/all-settings.c:732: .sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail",
(and doc/example-config/conf.d/15-lda.conf is also consistent with
this)but the documentations states
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA
sendmail_path is used to send mails. Note that the default is
/usr/lib/sendmail, which doesn't necessarily work the same as
/usr/sbin/sendmail.I don't know which ought to be changed though.

This should be correct.
but the documentations states

It used to be /usr/lib/sendmail, but some people complained that it's obsolete now and /usr/sbin/sendmail should be used, so I changed it in v2.0.
I changed the wiki2 now.
