While I do admit that Elm's configure is heavily biased towards
sendmail once it finds it, and some of the utilities are damn
obnoxious about insisting on it, it can be configured out.

You need to set the name of the agent to deliver mail, do it at the
end of the configure run, edit the config.sh at the prompt when it
asks for final changes and change the mail delivery agent
(just look for sendmail in the answers).

As to sendmail not understanding domain addresses, why not just
update your sendmail.cf file :-).  I know sendmail.cf files
are a real pain (that why I run smail 3.1), but sendmail can
handle domain addresses even better than smail.
