There is one, which djb pointed out on a webpage somewhere I think:
if ((config = fopen(_PATH_MAILERCONF, "r")) == NULL) {
...
execve(_PATH_DEFAULTMTA, al.argv, envp);
...
}
If it runs out of file descriptors (or fopen() fails for another
reason, ENOMEM perhaps) it just runs sendmail. ugh... I think
it should just exit(EX_TEMPFAIL) in that case, or at the very
least allow this to be easily configurable (DEFAULTMTA=foo in
/etc/make.conf perhaps). The only way to "fix" this really is to
replace /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail with a link to exim.
