Bug Description

Every 20 minutes I get an email sent by a cron job.

The email comes from:
Cron <smmsp@Dell-Latitude-D600> test -x /etc/init.d/sendmail && /usr/share/sendmail/sendmail cron-msp

The email says:

/usr/share/sendmail/sendmail: 899: /usr/share/sendmail/sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail-msp: not found

I used to have sendmail installed but I removed and purged it (I tried to at least).

This bug was fixed in the package sendmail - 8.14.9-1

---------------
sendmail (8.14.9-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * QA upload.
  * New upstream release.
  * Remove sendmail-8.14.9.diff.
  * manpage-section.patch: Refresh.
  * Switch from tar-in-tar to regular source layout.
  * Switch patch application from cdbs to dpkg source format 3.0 (quilt).
  * d/patches: Convert old-style context diffs to unified diffs.
  * Finally drop the last bits of cdbs usage.
  * Perform more checks in /etc/cron.d/sendmail to skip running commands (and
    failing) if any of the sendmail-base, sendmail-bin packages have been
    removed. (LP: #1421329)
  * Import "Sendmail Signing Key/2015 <email address hidden>" from
    ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/PGPKEYS into
    debian/upstream/signing-key.pgp.
  * Use the changelog timestamp for @sm_date@ and @sm_time@ substitutions to
    make the build reproducible.
  * fhs.patch: New. Move path adjustments in documentation from sed calls in
    d/rules to a proper patch.
  * Upload to unstable.
