This looks like whatever program that's calling sendmail is using the
wrong command-line args.  Most likely, it's trying to run "sendmail -s
mysubject user@host.com".  This is a /usr/bin/mail commandline, not a
sendmail line.  Sendmail expects the subject to be passed into stdin as
a header, like "Subject: mysubject".
