For the `mail` command, it can be customized in a `~/.mailrc` file, maybe:
```
set sendmail=sendmail:/run/setuid-programs/sendmail
# or set sendmail=smtp://127.0.0.1 
```

 From what I could read and debug from the mailutils source code, this 
would require a non-trivial amount of refactoring, not a couple of 
(substitute* ...) calls some a few files.

This should be done by submitting changes upstream, so that the 
maintainer can properly review and apply them.  I'd say this is how this 
software is written to work right now, and tweaking it would be 
thwarting its core purpose.

Come to think of it, I did try it.  It required a significant amount of 
patches to the source code itself, to the point where one should prepare 
a patchset and send upstream, after refactoring some of the code.

The problem is that the aforementioned search path used is searched at 
compile-time, and if no sendmail binary is found, the absolute fallback 
path is used instead.  So instead of a run-time $PATH lookup, it has a 
compile-time /usr/sbin:/usr/lib:/etc lookup, with a /usr/sbin/sendmail 
fallback.

Ideally we would like to have:

1. not looking for sendmail binaries at compile-time, and relying on 
$PATH instead;
2. not having a fallback absolute path to a fallback binary, and just 
get a ENOENT at runtime instead, plus a few more diagnostic messages to 
STDERR.

As I progressed in achieving that, I had modification on top of 
modification to the build system and the source code, and at some point 
I found myself questioning the approach, as it was becoming too fragile 
and too custom.

There is no bug registered in GNU Mailutils' bug database, but there is 
a thread [0] in its list with people talking about when the exact same 
problem was encountered when our friends at Nix packaged mailutils [1].

The suggestion [2] from the maintainer is actually to put a symlink to 
the setuid sendmail binary where mailutils expects to find it:

 > There's no way to do this currently, except for symlinking the actual
 > sendmail-compatible binary (whatever it is in your distro) to the
 > predefined path (preferably, to the place defined by _PATH_SENDMAIL
 > in your /usr/include/paths.h). In fact, that's what all distros that
 > I've ever seen do.

The difference for Guix (and Nix) is that /usr/sbin/ doesn't even exist, 
so we use the PATH_SENDMAIL macro to tell mailutils where to find 
sendmail, as upstream seems happy with the state of affairs.

With mailutils, I'm afraid this can't be done.

What our Nix friends do is have a module (which is equivalent to a Guix 
service) that accepts a "setSendmail" option [0] which, when true, adds 
the a setuid msmtp binary wrapper [1].

That mixes up user-level and system-level configuration, and the only 
way around is add a user-level alias wrapper for mailutils wrapper that
specifies where to find sendmail at runtime:

     alias mail="mail -E'set 
sendmail=\"$HOME/.guix-home/profile/bin/msmtp\"'"

Doing this to the mailutils package definition would require juggling 
some options around and knowing very well how mailutils handles options, 
so that the dynamic lookup of the sendmail binary doesn't break anything 
else.

Can we change that value to $PATH? I checked and I don't have sendmail
in /run/setuid-programs, and I know I'd use my msmtp setup for sendmail
*for myself* but not for the system if it were available.

I did try it, but it was mailutils that I feel forced my hand.  It uses 
a pre-defined list of paths to search, instead of $PATH, namely:

   /usr/sbin:/usr/lib:/etc

So I feel the opposite ocurred: I wanted it to just rely on $PATH, but 
mailutils used a specific search path, but it at least gives us a way in 
to put a custom value.

I did try it, but it was mailutils that I feel forced my hand.  It uses 
a pre-defined list of paths to search, instead of $PATH, namely:

   /usr/sbin:/usr/lib:/etc

So I feel the opposite ocurred: I wanted it to just rely on $PATH, but 
mailutils used a specific search path, but it at least gives us a way in 
to put a custom value.

* gnu/packages/mail.scm (mailutils)[arguments]: Add -DPATH_SENDMAIL
  to CFLAGS pointing to /run/setuid-programs.

Notes:
    The current compilation options of GNU Mailutils don't specify a valu=
e
    for the "PATH_SENDMAIL" C macro.  The build system of the package loo=
ks
    for a definition of this variable in the "paths.h" header file from t=
he
    glibc package, and falls back to what is defined as the default in it=
s
    "paths" file, /usr/sbin/sendmail.
   =20
    As this binary doesn't exist, "mail" fails to execute:
   =20
      $ cat mail.txt
      From: root
      To: root
      Subject: This fails
   =20
      The body
      $ mail -t < mail.txt
      mail: Cannot open mailer: No such file or directory
      mail: cannot send message: No such file or directory
      $ echo $?
      1
   =20
    I've confirmed this by looking at the file called "paths" in the sour=
ce
    code of mailutils, and at the strace output of calling mailutils.  I
    do have a working sendmail binary under /run/setuid-programs, and it
    now it is correctly called by the "mail" command, from mailutils.
   =20
    Given that this was the default, probably most Guix users do have a
    /root/dead.letter, with emails from the system, mainly rottlog
    notifications of log rotations, as it does use GNU Mailutils directly=
 in
    its /etc/rottlog/rc configuration.
