Yes:
+ /var/csuite/etc/mail/bin/sendmail -f
/var/csuite/etc/mail/bin/sendmail: option requires argument -f
Usage: sendmail [sendmail options]

The script is calling $SENDMAIL -f $MEM_CHAIR_LOGIN (to set the From:
address to your membership chair's login). You need to set the
MEM_CHAIR_LOGIN variable in your /var/csuite/etc/conf/vars file. We have
two lines like this:

MEM_CHAIR=membership
MEM_CHAIR_LOGIN="$MEM_CHAIR"

I think $MEM_CHAIR_LOGIN has to be a local username or alias (i.e. no @)
but I could be wrong.

I'm not sure how to reset it so that they get mail again? Maybe back up
your /var/csuite/private/renewals directory, move *.notice.1 to *.notice,
*.expired.5 to *.expired.4 (etc.), rerun /var/csuite/cronbin/expiries and
then restore /var/csuite/private/renewals?
