(Sorry for not having read previous messages the the thread.)
Emacs has different ways to send mail and that's configured with
variable send-mail-function or message-send-mail-function (if you use
message-mode for composing mail).
It seems to me that you want to use locally installed sendmail program
(or compatible) for sending mail so you would configure Emacs like this:
(setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail)
