Doesn't look like standard shell syntax to me.

If I run mailnotify using bash, it gets farther, but then it fails 
because it tries to invoke sendmail from my PATH rather than the one 
at /usr/lib/sendmail:

+ from_name=Bob Friesenhahn
++ echo 'Bob Friesenhahn <address@hidden>'
++ sed 's,^.*<\(.*\)>.*$,\1,'
+ address@hidden
+ SENDMAIL=sendmail
+ which sendmail
+ SENDMAIL=sendmail
+ break
+ func_verbose 'Delivering mail, please wait...'
+ false
+ :
+ test -n 'Bob Friesenhahn'
+ sendmail -F 'Bob Friesenhahn' -f address@hidden 
address@hidden
config/mailnotify: sendmail: command not found
+ test 127 -eq 0
+ func_fatal_error 'Mail delivery failed, draft mail is in 
/tmp/mailnotify27299-16800.15787'
+ func_error 'Mail delivery failed, draft mail is in 
/tmp/mailnotify27299-16800.15787'
+ echo 'mailnotify: Mail delivery failed, draft mail is in 
/tmp/mailnotify27299-16800.15787'
mailnotify: Mail delivery failed, draft mail is in 
/tmp/mailnotify27299-16800.15787
+ exit 1
blade:src/gnu/libtool-branch-2-0% ls /usr/lib/sendmail
/usr/lib/sendmail*
