Postfix's sendmail is an independent entity and doesn't have anything to
do with master.cf or much of the rest of the Postfix conglomerate, for
that matter.

No, well you wouldn't. This is terrible and the only reason why I'm
posting at all. The whole mailwrapper idea is to couple between Sendmail
sendmail and Postfix sendmail on brain-dead Linux distros. Your
postfix.sendmail ought to be a binary and /usr/bin/sendmail should bet a
symlink to /usr/bin/sendmail.postfix. It looks horribly as if you're
using the Sendmail sendmail and something(one) has fscked up your
Postfix installation.
