All of the available MTAs will do that, because the standard Unix API
for an application to send e-mail is for that app to pipe the message
into the STDIN of /usr/sbin/sendmail.  Alternative MTAs have always
therefore provided a high degree of sendmail compatibility and expect
to have binaries either installed as or linked to /usr/sbin/sendmail.

Unlike most other Unix or unix-oid systems, FreeBSD has a slightly
more sophisticated variation on this.  /usr/sbin/sendmail is actually
a wrapper program and not Sendmail Brand sendmail(tm) at all -- see
mailwrapper(8) for details.  Simply by editing the configuration file
/etc/mail/mailer.conf you can switch between sendmail-from-the-base-system, sendmail-from-ports, exim, postfix, qmail, ssmtp and probably half a
dozen others.  mailer.conf also covers a number of other sendmail
related commands like newaliases(1) and hoststat(8).

The sendmail binary provided by the base system is installed as
/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
