Check your jail.conf for

# MTA for the mailing. Change mta configuration parameter to mail

#mta = sendmail
mta = mail

and maybe try mta = mail

In the jail.conf of fail2ban version 0.8.3 this option doesn't seem to exist. I tried to add the proposed commands under [Default] but neither of them: mta = sendmail or mta = mail resolved the the error.
