On Ubuntu which is a Debian based system the local mailer
is /usr/sbin/sensible-mda.   This can be reconfigured by tweaking the
sendmail.mc file.  The line OSTYPE(`debian')dnl sets the local mailer by
including the /usr/share/sendmail/cf/ostype/debian.m4 file in to the
sendmail configuration.

See the sensible-mda man page for further details.
