Apply this patch:

diff -u -r1.1 configdump
--- configdump  1999/08/09 19:32:21     1.1
+++ configdump  1999/08/10 21:01:51

 # dummy function used by Config.pm
 sub debug { return undef }
+# some systems have no compatibility link /usr/lib/sendmail
+if (-x '/usr/sbin/sendmail') {
+    $Global::SendMailLocation = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
+}
 $Global::ConfigFile = 'minivend.cfg';

Anyway, this smells like a design flaw. Even a configuration
directive "SendMailProgram" in minivend.cfg will not help.
I think, MVEND_ROOT/bin/dump is vulnerable to this too.

minivend itself checks for /usr/sbin/sendmail ...
