Can we resolve this by having 4 options?
1. if there is not a --with-sendmail statement, don't put a MTA line into
inn.conf
2. if --with-sendmail=path, then look on the path for sendmail
3. if --with-sendmail=default, then look in the default locations
(/usr/sbin, /usr/lib)
4. if --with-sendmail={path-to-sendmail}, then put that explicit sendmail
into inn.conf.
