What does your "local" mailer definition look like? Mine looks like
this for NetBSD-0.9:
Mlocal, P=/usr/libexec/mail.local, F=lsDFMmrn, S=10, R=20,
A=mail -d $u
If you're trying to use /bin/mail (or another non-existent program)
as a local mailer, you'll see the symptoms you described.
If you're using m4 to create sendmail.cf from a *.mc file, you can
say either
OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl
or
define(`LOCAL_MAILER_PATH', /usr/libexec/mail.local)dnl
in the input file.
