Yes it is related to the consolidation of bin/sbin, I solve this problem
with
sudo update-alternatives --set mta /usr/bin/sendmail.postfix

Looking in /usr/sbin there indeed was no sendmail program. I fixed
that by doing:
cd /usr/sbin ; ln -s ../bin/sendmail.postfix sendmail
I guess this is related to the consolidation of /usr/sbin and /usr/bin.
There was a second problem: postfix was not running. It was simple
to re-enable it via systemctl but I'm surprised that it was somehow
turned off as part of the upgrade from f41 to f42.
Yes, I've seen a number of issues on a postfix mail platform that I've
not yet got to the bottom of.
