Always frustrating with only ftp access. Here are a couple of things you can try.
  1. Add $! to end of your die's to see if error message gives you any clues.
  2. send a test mail using pipe to Mail or mail this will verify to a certain extent if local accounts can send mail from that host plus headers may give a clue as to what MTA is being used.
  3. Try looking for sendmail in /usr/sbin which is becoming more popular OR try opening sendmail without an absolute path, a long shot but worth a try.
  4. several other places I have seen sendmail reside:
    1. /usr/bin, /etc, /var/lib
    2. /usr/local/bin ./etc ./sbin ./lib
  5. you try shell script which -a sendmail > sendmailplace.
Hope this helps.
