A mail user agent is for reading, replying, disposing, and composing an email. If you move /usr/lib/sendmail to /usr/lib/oldsendmail on a Solaris system and insure it's not running on the server (ps -ef|grep mail), then when you go to send an email with mailx you will get an error (even on a local user within the same system).
# mailx -s"test" unixops < /etc/issue
/usr/lib/sendmail: No such file or directory
Sendmail does not have to be running (that is when it is allowing incoming mail to the local server) but must be present (or some other MTA) for sending email.
On HP-UX, moving sendmail does nothing to sending to local users but will stop you from sending out from that server to another.

wwsetup(8) System Manager's Manual wwsetup(8)
NAME
wwsetup, wnn - Sets up the 8-bit option for sendmail and the Wnn character-cell input method for Japanese
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/wwsetup
DESCRIPTION
The wwsetup script performs one or both of the following tasks: Enables or disables 8-bit transmission code, which is an option supported
by sendmail software
By default, sendmail uses the 7-bit SMTP mail transmission protocol that is the standard for sending mail over a TCP/IP network.
Note that enabling the 8-bit option is not generally recommended because it violates the SMTP mail transmission protocol. Config-
ures the Wnn software that supports a character-cell input method that is widely used in Japan
If the Tru64 UNIX IOSJPWNNnnn subset is installed, the wwsetup script asks if you want to create the following links if they do not
already exist on the system:
/usr/local/bin/Wnn4 --> /usr/i18n/bin/Wnn4 /usr/local/bin/wnn --> /usr/i18n/lib/wnn
The script also prompts you to enter the password for Wnn dictionaries if they do not already exist on the system.
Both the links and the dictionary password must be in place before Wnn software can be used.
SEE ALSO
Commands: sendmail(8), jserver(1wnn)
Note that the jserver(1wnn) reference page is available only in Japanese and is included in the subset that contains Japanese translations
of reference pages.
