It means that it tried to call one of the exec() functions and it failed.
Typically it means that the file did not exist, e.g. mutt was compiled to
invoke say /usr/lib/sendmail but it doesn't exist.

Try putting the following in /usr/local/etc/Muttrc (or wherever your global
muttrc lives), or in .muttrc in your home directory:

set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -oem"
