I found the comments in the .pinerc file suggested a simple hack which
worked for me (my sendmail-path was originally blank):
# This names the path to an alternative program, and any necessary arguments,
# to be used in posting mail messages. Example:
# /usr/lib/sendmail -oem -t -oi
# or,
# /usr/local/bin/sendit.sh
# The latter a script found in Pine distribution's contrib/util directory.
# NOTE: The program MUST read the message to be posted on standard input,
# AND operate in the style of sendmail's "-t" option.
sendmail-path=/usr/lib/sendmail -oem -t -oi
Cheers.
