In order to use the "kill -1" feature of sendmail 8.8.*, you need to run
sendmail with a full path. Here is a patch (I don't have net access right
now or I'd do it).

Without the patch, you'll get this:

May  7 13:37:30 keltia sendmail[142]: daemon invoked without full pathname; kill -1 won't work
May  7 13:37:30 keltia sendmail[143]: starting daemon (8.8.5): SMTP+queueing@00:31:00
