[NBLUG/talk] Sendmail issues and Debian testing

[Steve Johnson]

Actualy the missing from line was a mutt issue, and I solved that about an
hour ago.. The sendmail issue is still a mystery, so I downloaded sendmail
8.13 from sendmail.org and compiled it, set it up, and all is working now.

So I'm guessing there is a strange config issue in debians sendmail, that I
just could not track down.

Gotta look at the bright side, at least im now running a newer sendmail =)
