sendmail is a mailserver program (MTA), you can find a microsoft version of it
at http://www.indigostar.com/sendmail.htm

As microsoft don't have any MTA by default installed, it's required to use an
external mailer, it's quite important to configure this with right smart host
for the client, as nowadays ISPs only allows users to use their SMTP from the
same network.
Using mail.bigfoot.com may work for you at home, but on the remote server
using it as smarthost may not be possible as they aren't on the same network.
