Thanks Eric! git-send-email used to default to using local binaries.
It was only with the switch to Net::SMTP that the default changed to
localhost:25.
IMHO the developer's machine is more likely to have a working
/usr/sbin/sendmail than an SMTP server (specially looking at current
linux desktop configurations).

OTOH, as long as I can override it to use sendmail, it's all good.
