I've just installed Sendmail only for test, without configuring. Command
'sendmail' without arguments wrotes 'Recipient address is missing" or
something like, but it READS a message from stdin and tryes to deliver it.

Here is a part of log:

Mar 5 22:28:29 linuxbox sendmail[421]: f25JSOZ00421: from=root, size=17,
class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=<200103051928.f25JSOZ00421@???>,
relay=root@localhost

As I understand, it deliver a message to address specified in To: header. I
looked in Areafix script contiributed with ifmail package, it also assumes
Sendmail, and it executes Sendmail without any arguments, only with stdin
redirection.

Maybe somebody in this mailing list uses Sendmail somewhere...
