In GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8, X toolkit)
of Tue Jan 16 2001 on sunray8.era-a.ericsson.se
configured using `configure --prefix=/usr/bag/emacs/20.7
--datadir=/usr/bag/emacs/share'
My system recently switched to Solaris 2.8.
This had the effect that mail mode is no longer able to find the
sendmail program, which it expects to find at /usr/sbin/
instead of eg /usr/lib/ where I can see a copy.
A side effect of this is of course that the "Send Bug Report" command
is broken.
Has my unix system been tweaked in a non-standard way or is this an
emacs problem? Besides including above path in my path, is there
anything simpler I could do?

As far as I know, sendmail has always resided in the /usr/lib directory
on SunOS/Solaris. But paths.el, which I think is dumped into the emacs
executable, looks for /usr/sbin/sendmail before /usr/lib/sendmail when
setting sendmail-program. Perhaps your original Solaris installation
had been tweaked when Emacs was built.
In any case: (setq sendmail-program "/usr/lib/sendmail")
You might want to put that in site-start.el instead of ~/.emacs, if there
are other Emacs users on your system.

Well, my Emacs installation does only seem to look for /usr/sbin, no
other places.
I didnt build it so I dont know any build details.
