I don't know for sure, but it probably just calls sendmail to actually
send the mail.  Something like this works:

    osiris:~$ sendmail -t <<END
    > To: foo@bar
    > From: steve@silug.org

There are no relaying issues with sending mail locally like that.
Local users should, theoretically, be trustworthy.
