Not necessarily: many packages (i.e. most MTAs) provide
/usr/sbin/sendmail. Could you try and figure out what that
`/usr/sbin/sendmail' is?

We definitely have a problem in this respect. Traditionally on Unix,
sending mail is done via the /usr/sbin/sendmail program, but nowadays
it's very common to have such programs completely misconfigured.
It's fundamentally a bug in the distributions, I believe, but it's not
one that we can expect to see fixed any time soon, so we're going to
have to deal with it.
