Except...

This thing *isn't* sendmail, it is a placeholder/proxy for the hardcoded
exec() strings stuffed into other applications.

What should the man pages say?  This thing called sendmail isn't really
sendmail, it is a proxy for the real sendmail, which now lives over ->there->?
As it is now, the man page for mailwrapper does a pretty good job of
describing things.

Without the mailwrapper name (which is how the rest of the world identifies
this feature), isn't this just asking for confusion - yet another place where
OpenSolaris is arbitrarily different in a small way from the rest of the *nix
world? doesn't "being the same as other places"  trump "but we could have
invent something better if we tried"?
