You can point to an SMTP server by setting the smtp-server variable in your
.pinerc file.  Other than that, there is nothing short of a source change...

Would it be possible to set up a chroot environment and create your own 
/usr/lib/sendmail in it?

I presume so.  Don't forget to include /bin/spell and /etc/passwd as well...

"sendmail-alternative=" seems like an excellent candidate for a .pinerc 
entry to me.  Don't most mail agents let the user point them to something 
besides sendmail?
