This line in sendmail.py:

    from_addr = os.environ['USER'] + '@' + socket.getfqdn()

causes my mail-delivery to crash:

<---snip--->

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/sendmail", line 126, in ?
    main(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/sbin/sendmail", line 77, in main
    from_addr = os.environ['USER'] + '@' + socket.getfqdn()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/UserDict.py", line 19, in __getitem__
    def __getitem__(self, key): return self.data[key]
KeyError: 'USER'

</---snip--->

I think it's an permission-thing, but didn't went any further.

I just changed it to

    from_addr = "postmaster@localhost"

(since the sender is pased by "-f") and now it works.
