I think, in practice, that /usr/lib/sendmail will exist anywhere you hve something running on port 25, at least on unixy machines. In my searches at an old job, that appeared to be the canonical place to call sendmail from, and every MTA appears to provide an appropriate binary there. So, I'm not overly worried about it.
