Using the above patch and then using sendinpaths 
I no longer receive and warnings or error messages and works fine.

The test you suggested with innmail -h and 
innmail -s "test" mail-address on innmail before 
adding in the above patch gave me this output:

innmail -h
  - Use of uninitialized value in string eq at 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/getopts.pl line 26.
I then went to getopts.pl and look at line 26 and found:

                 if($pos >= $[) {
                         if($args[$pos+1] eq ':') {   ### <--- Line 26
                                 shift(@ARGV);

innmail -s "test" mail-address
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at (eval 139) line 3.

After adding in the patch and the running: 
innmail -h I do not get any warnings, error messages.

So there is a problem, at least on our OS with 
innmail.  Using the patch seems to solve this problem.
