Hope this clear to you..
The thread opener said the send mail functionality works, so there is no need for another way of sending mail (this is in fact what you have described).

Further, using sendmail directly is a very bad practice. Save for testing the mail system upon installation it is clearly to be avoided. Use a mail client if you want client functionality and leave the daemon alone, it has other work to do.

I hope this helps.
