Wouldn't --smtp-server=that.smtp.server work for you?  Ah, that
would not work if your use is to send a local mail.  Hmph...

Well, the machine knows that the smtp server is (I mean, files in /etc
have the right values in them), but I don't think often about it. Only
when I am installing OSs or MTAs...

I know... I'm a whiner! ;-) I'll probably do something that does an
eval and tries Mail::Sendmail and post it.

You should be able to just open a pipe to:
	/usr/sbin/sendmail @recipients
and just write headers\nbody to that pipe.

Perhaps allow and detect --smtp-server=/path/to/sendmail ?
