The line in question is a problem with both sh and bash.
As near as I can tell, test does not permit multiple arguments
for the -f operand.

I ran (and reported) a similar bug in the configure for ncurses.

Tested: bsd/os 2.1, 3.*, 4.*

If you must:
for i in /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/lib/sendmail
do
test -f $i
(use results of test)
done

Or just individual test statements.
