sendmail-send-it runs sendmail-program with -oem which tells sendmail to always exit with status 0 and report all errors via e-mail. So sendmail-send-it is ignoring exit status because there's no reason for it to expect exit status to be anything but zero. If you change sendmail-program to something other than sendmail then you take your chances with incompatible/broken behavior.
