This is not a sendmail issue.

You are running some perl script: /bin/asend

that is presumably being called by /bin/asmv

The script has problems that are being reported when it is run.  That is
what "perl -w" does - it makes rude remarks about a programme it doesn't
like.

Fix that script and the problems will go away.
