You are missing a local mailer. A local mailer is defined by a line
similar to:
Mlocal, P=/usr/libexec/mail.local, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qPSXfmnz9, S=EnvFromSMT
P/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP,
A=mail.local -l
in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
Probably, you updated and failed to rebuild and install the sendmail
configuration files located in /etc/mail/.

You are missing a line similar to:
# queue directory
O QueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue
in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. Probably this has the same root cause.
