your app prints my timezone as expected. if you run something like this
does it work for you?

cat << EOF | /run/setuid-programs/sendmail $(whoami)
To: $(whoami)
Subject: test


blah
EOF

for me, it prints:

sendmail: time_to_text: bsnprintf


my config.scm:


(operating-system
  ...
  (setuid-programs
   (append (list (setuid-program
                  (program (file-append opensmtpd "/sbin/smtpctl"))
		 (setuid? #f)
		 (setgid? #t)
		 (user "root")
		 (group "smtpq"))
		(setuid-program
                  (program (file-append opensmtpd "/sbin/sendmail"))
		 (setuid? #f)
		 (setgid? #t)
		 (user "root")
		 (group "smtpq")))
           %setuid-programs))
