This is fairly standard.... most recent unix variants (that do not feel
the need for excessive backward compatibility), do not have executables
(directly) in /usr/lib (there may be directories with executables).

/usr/sbin is the right location for an MTA - not really a direct user
program, not needed on root partition.

Most if not all linux distros put their MTA (using a sendmail type API)
at /usr/sbin/sendmail
