Sendmail has been able to perform LMTP delivery (no "deliver" required)
for a long time.

This is specified in imapd.conf via the "sendmail" directive.

<quote>
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
The pathname of the sendmail executable.  Sieve invokes sendmail  for
sending  rejections, redirects and vacation responses.
Note:  This Invoca RPM build uses /usr/sbin/sendmail by default instead
of /usr/lib/sendmail for sendmail.

sendsms: /usr/bin/sendsms
The pathname of the sendsms executable.  Sieve invokes sendsms for
sending  SMS  notifications.
