Response to: Simpler fix ?
By the way, though this simple fix worked for me. I do get these messages in the terminal when I send a message to root (which is automatically forwarded to me): Msmtp: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE Mesmtp: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE Msmtp8: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE Mdsmtp: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE Mrelay: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE I don't know what they mean. Again, despite these warnings the mail still gets through.

Showing messages 1 through 2 of 2.

  If you take a look at /var/log/daily.out, you'll see these error messages repeated there (assuming you've set up your computer to do its maintenance tasks). I don't get these messages when sending mail to root, I get them as part of the daily maintenance tasks or if I issue the 'sudo mailq' command.
  
  The interesting thing is that when I issue the 'mailq' command with the -v (verbose) switch, I get the following message:
  Warning: .cf file is out of date: sendmail 8.12.2 supports version 10, .cf file is version 9
  
  Would be nice to see Apple address all this stuff.

  Regarding these and other messages, I found a resource that appears convincing - I am not qualified to vouch for its accuracy ;-> See http://www.sial.org/sendmail/macosx/8.12.2/
  
  I wish I knew/understood more about this. The upshot is that Apple needs to do some tweaking (perhaps already addressed in 10.2?) for sendmail to be 100% correctly configured.
