I expect that most everything you found matching sendmail is calling
/usr/sbin/sendmail (or archaic /usr/lib/sendmail).  This is the Unix
"standard" for a local message submission program, good or bad.  That's
why on Fedora /usr/sbin/sendmail is handled with alternatives; pretty
much every replacement mailer supplies a basic /usr/sbin/sendmail that
can accept messages the same way.
