Unhappy SENDMAIL - sm-client fails


I am using Mandrake 9 and installed sendmail and postfix. When i try to start sendmail, i get a message:

starting sm-client: sendmail: invalid option -- A

can't find useful information about sm-client.

How are you starting sendmail?
What's the full command used...

It looks like the error doesn't like the -A option.
-A is invalid.

SENDMAIL - sm-client fails

Your not the only one ssrikant

I also have the same problem. I haven't changed the config since installation but now when logging out the sm-client fails to stop.

I'm using RHL 8.0. By the way I'm a complete linux newbie.
