They use /usr/sbin/sendmail, on correctly configured systems, with
"alternatives", you have:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -> /etc/alternatives/sendmail
/etc/alternatives/sendmail -> /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
and similar, e.g.
/usr/sbin/sendmail -> /etc/alternatives/sendmail
/etc/alternatives/sendmail -> /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
