trouble with mailprog on formmail script

I'm using NMS FormMail Version 3.14c1, which has the following line
$mailprog = '/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t';

When I execute the script, I receive this error message:
Application Error
An error has occurred in the program
Can't open mailprog [/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t]

I use godaddy's virtual dedicated servers, and I think it uses qmail instead of sendmail. So I tried replacing "sendmail" with "qmail", but I still got the same application error.

Any ideas?

first check godaddys FAQs to make sure they use qmail or sendmail. It could be the path to sendmail is different than the path you posted, although that is a very common one. If they use qmail then you probably want to use the SMTP option. See the NMS FormMail readme file for details.

You know, I just figured it out. I had the path wrong. It should've been sbin rather than lib.
