You should be able to just open a pipe to:

Sounds reasonable. I just looked at what Mail::Sendmail does and it
isn't specially interesting. (There used to be a different Perl module
that did smart things, depending on what MTA it found, but I can't
find it now).

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

Oh, it should just work with sendmail if it's there and we don't
provide --smtp-server ;-)
