No. It assumes that the variable MAIL_AGENT in the environment is capable of 
sending mail and if /unset/ uses sendmail.
Have a look at the mail/smail port and set MAIL_AGENT accordingly in 
environment. This can be done permanently for all users, by adding the 
variable to the setenv entry in the default listing in /etc/login.conf and 
running cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf afterwards.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
