I'm still searching for an answer to this. After upgrade from wheezy to testing, sendmail no longer starts.
I see that the system is using systemd. I see that the /etc/init.d/sendmail script now runs /bin/systemctl start sendmail.service. But sendmail isn't started. Even running '/bin/systemctl start sendmail.service' manually, nothing happens. I don't see any obvious way to get any debug info out of systemctl. # systemctl is-enabled sendmail Failed to get unit file state for sendmail.service: No such file or directory and # /bin/systemctl enable sendmail.service Synchronizing state for sendmail.service with sysvinit using update-rc.d...
