mutt-users is actually a more appropriate list in this case, so I'm
cc'ing this there.

It sounds like mutt is not looking in the right place for sendmail.
What's the full path to your sendmail binary? In mutt, type
":set sendmail"
(not including the quotes) -- what value does it say the sendmail
variable has? There's a good chance that mutt is looking for
/usr/lib/sendmai and you actually have /usr/sbin/sendmail, or vice
versa, though autoconf should (I think) detect this.
