Sheesh.  sendmail is our default MTA.  It's not an ISP-only thing,
even local mail is being passed to sendmail:

j@uriah 1506% mail -s "Just nothing" j < /dev/null
Null message body; hope that's ok
j@uriah 1507% lastcomm | head -5
sendmail         -F      j        ttyp3      0.00 secs Sat Dec  7 20:26 
mail.local       -S      j        __         0.02 secs Sat Dec  7 20:26 
sendmail         -S      j        ttyp3      0.06 secs Sat Dec  7 20:26 
sendmail         -F      j        ttyp3      0.00 secs Sat Dec  7 20:26 
mail             -       j        ttyp3      0.02 secs Sat Dec  7 20:26

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
