+Subject: [PATCH] make.rc: set VAL_MTA
+
+Some build server may provide sendmail like /usr/lib/sendmail which
+may result the VAL_MTA to be /usr/lib/sendmail, but the sendmail
+is actually /usr/sbin/sendmail on the target.
+
+Fixes:
+  # echo "invalide address email" | s-nail -s "test mail" -r test@test.com tester@test.com
+  s-nail: Cannot start /usr/lib/sendmail: executable not found (adjust *mta* variable)
+  /home/root/dead.letter 10/234
+  s-nail: ... message not sent
+
+  # which sendmail
+  /usr/sbin/sendmail
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate[oe-specific]
