Unfortunately, sendmail isn't just a program, it's an API. Calling
/usr/lib/sendmail has been the way to get mail out (whereever out
is) in UNIX for, well, as long as sendmail exists, which is quite some
time.

That does not mean that it has to be "the" sendmail, of course.

Oh, and LSB requires that it's there.
