I'm running Fedora-24(beta)/KDE,

When I try to send email I get the warning "Failed to transmit message",
and journalctl has the entry
"sendmail.service: PID file /run/sendmail.pid not readable (yet?)
after start: No such file or directory".
I've checked, and sendmail.pid is in place:
==================
[tim@william ~]$ sudo cat /run/sendmail.pid
2829
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q1h
==================
Googling for this journalctl entry,
I see people have been encountering the same problem for years.
But I haven't seen any solution offered.
Several of the comments suggest that it is a systemd problem.
If anyone can offer advice, or even elucidation, I should be most grateful.
I don't think the journal entry about the pid file is related to being able to send
messages via KMail.
I'm currently not using sendmail or KMail. But just for fun I installed sendmail and
indeed that message appears one time when sendmail is started.
However, not wanting to mess with KMail, I simply did a "telnet" to port 25 and
manually
sent a message using the "mail from:" "rcpt to:" smtp commands and
sent mails without
difficultly.
So, it seems more like a KMail issue to me.
