Any specific reasons why they disallow sending mail via SMTP? Perhaps
they don't allow SMTP to localhost, but have another host available
for this purpose. In this case, you could set SMTPHOST to that host.
It's likely that they do have such a host, as many MUAs can only send
mail by direct SMTP.

I'd only do this as a last resort due to security problems with
"sendmail". This is explained more in the comments for OUTGOINGMAIL
in TMDA/Defaults.py.

This isn't typical. LOGFILE_DEBUG should have recorded the error.
For example,
