Jason's example is bogus here; the invocation of /tmp/emptyfile
succeeds!  (At least on Linux, under ash, bash, and csh.)  Dunno what
a POSIX shell is supposed to do in this case....
(let ((sendmail-program "/tmp/emptyfile"))
  (call-process-region (point-min) (point-max) sendmail-program nil nil nil))
Put "#!/bin/sh\nexit 1\n" in /tmp/exit1, and try again.
