While this definitely is the current state, it's not optimal. It would
be ideal to have an MTA like esmtp or similar,[1] which was easily
configured and could then be used by all things that need to send
outgoing mail without configuring them directly. [Possibly with
unified user configuration in .config/mail or similar which overrode
the system configuration and could be written and read by any of the
existing MUAs we have.]
Instead of band-aiding over this problem, lets actually fix it.

1: I personally use nullmailer, but because it doesn't support
sendmail -bs or listening on localhost:25, it's probably not ideal as
a default.
