       <command>configure</command> does an honest attempt of
       locating this one for you and set a default, but if it fails,
       you can set it here.
      </para>
      <para>
       Systems not using sendmail should set this directive to the
       sendmail wrapper/replacement their mail system offers, if any.
       For example, <ulink url="&url.qmail;">Qmail</ulink>
       users can normally set it to
       <filename>/var/qmail/bin/sendmail</filename> or <filename>
       /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject</filename>.
      </para>
      <para>
       <command>qmail-inject</command> does not require any option to
       process mail correctly.
