I've just tried to replicate this bug replacing sendmail with a script
that simply does "exit 1" and that's what I got:

Report will be sent to Sandro Tosi <morph at debian.org>
Submit this report on checkgmail (e to edit) [Y|n|a|c|e|i|l|m|p|q|d|t|s|?]?
Sending message via /usr/sbin/sendmail...
Original write failed, wrote bug report to
/tmp/reportbug-checkgmail-20110816-398-lrFVxO

And that's the result I'd expected looking at the source code. If you
can provide a way I can replicate this, I'll investigate further, else
I'll close this report.

Regards.
