I put in
BuildRequires: sendmail-devel
and it looks like everything is working now on my tests. The new
version will be in RC 2, which should be out today or tomorrow.
I put in sendmail-devel because all the documentation says that sendmail
is the default, and if smtpdaemon or something else pulls in something
like postfix, I wasn't positive that it would work.
Checking the dependancies, it doesn't require the actual sendmail
package, only /usr/sbin/sendmail
