Hi,

Hmm, that's odd. Anyway, try a full path of /usr/sbin/sendmail maybe ? That's where it's most likely to be found.

Also: were you typing whereis as one word (which would be correct, and as per RudiC's post) or were you typing it as two words (which wouldn't have worked) ?

Anyway, see how you get on with that path (which should be correct for RHEL/CentOS 6 x86_64, which is what I'm guessing you're using from that rpm output).
