The same as if you configure sendmail_oath wrong or move you binary to a host where it is missing: mail() returns false.
I think it's a correct approach - the fact that sendmail wasn't installed (or installed incorrectly maybe) on build machine shouldn't prevent PHP from sending mail of production machine. If production machine doesn't have sendmail - mail() would fail as would any other function, such as database connection, when environment is not set up correctly.
