It assumes the variable MAIL_AGENT is capable of sending mail:
If the environment variable MAIL_AGENT is set, its value is used as the
path + command line arguments of the executable to be invoked for send-
ing the problem report (which will be provided via standard input).
This can be useful if you either use a MTA other than sendmail or need
to provide additional parameters, such as the envelope sender on
machines without a valid FQDN.
Default value: /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t
If you want, you can write your own script that ssh's to a mail-sending
capable machine and invokes the mail-sending program there (no extra stamps
required!).

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
