Thought so...

Mmm. I'm going to refer you to the same place I did before; you 
probably want to be using msmtp (or some similar relatively simple 
smtp-sender binary) rather than a full-blown mailserver (which is what 
sendmail is). I can't say why your sendmail seems to be returning 127  
(I'm a qmail guy), but I'm pretty sure that if *you* don't know (i.e. 
if you aren't familiar with sendmail's innards), then you probably 
don't want to be using sendmail anyway (it's a hoary beast).

One final comment... you may want to set up some message-hooks of some 
kind so that you don't have to remember to use <list-reply> instead of 
<group-reply> or <reply> when replying to list messages. The reason I 
say that is that my emails contain a Mail-Followup-To header 
indicating that I'm subscribed to the mutt mailing list and that you 
don't need to CC me *and* the list (I only need one copy).

The hooks would probably look something like this:

    message-hook . 'bind pager r reply'
    message-hook . 'bind pager l list-reply'
    message-hook ~l 'bind pager r list-reply'
    message-hook ~l 'bind pager l reply'
