Not according to mail.conf.example

# mailserver: smtp server that should be used to deliver the mail (defaults to 
localhost)
# alternatively this can also be a the path to a sendmail binary if you don't 
want to use smtp

So it uses SMTP by default, Python has standard libraries that make this
simple, and only uses sendmail when you explicitly instruct it to do so.
