Bug Description
The torque server does not email queue event changes to the requested address when specified e,g. in torque script including:
<..snip..>
#PBS -m ae
# PBS -M user@host
<..snip..>
does not result in notification to user@host on job abort or termination as it should.
Rebuilding from the sdeb and replacing the pbs_server executable in place (without replacing any other files from the torque-server deb) fixes the problem.
It seems that the initial build environment is where pbs_server gets its information about the location/existence of sendmail (through the configure script) and in the case of the build of this package that was either not in place or not detected.

Typo in bug report not torque script. Added additional comment as description not editable.
