I don't know anything about Majordomo on OS/2, but if it uses the same
kind of 'wrapper' program as it does on Unix then you'll find that
'wrapper' explicitly establishes its own (very short) $PATH before
launching 'resend', so 'resend' doesn't inherit its $PATH from
'sendmail' (and therefore not from your command processor).

>$sendmail_command is defined as "sendmail" in majordomo.cf.

Try redefining $sendmail_command to use the absolute pathname of the
sendmail executable.  For instance, on Solaris I have:

    $sendmail_command = "/usr/lib/sendmail";

Mike.
