When I restart Sendmail services, I see the following:

[root@]# service sendmail restart
Shutting down sm-client:                                   [FAILED]
Shutting down sendmail:                                    [  OK  ]
Starting sendmail:                                         [  OK  ]
Starting sm-client: exim abandoned: unknown,malformed, or incomplete option -L [FAILED]
