- correct path to sendmail due to migration to /usr/bin
I see you moved exim from /usr/sbin/sendmail to /usr/bin/sendmail.
This path is hardcoded to /usr/sbin/sendmail in _many_ sotfwares and all others rely on it (ssmtp, postfix, opensmtpd, heilroom-mailx, etc).
By example, # mail -s toto seblu@seblu.net test . EOT /usr/sbin/sendmail: No such file or directory "/root/dead.letter" 9/210 . . . message not sent.
I think we should do this correctly and rebuild /usr/sbin/sendmail in one shot, or include it in the global switch.

Alea iacta est. While I agree that move could be planned better, it's not exim (nor any other MTA) fault that someone took bad decision to hardcode path to sendmail. SMTP forwarders aren't as crucial as bash is, therefore I don't see any reason to revert changes or delay moving binaries to /usr/bin. Just message maintainer that his package is broken due to recent changes. -- Bartłomiej Piotrowski http://bpiotrowski.pl/
