building apsfilter without sendmail


I'm running FreeBSD 4.6.2, and trying to build apsfilter 7.2.2 from the ports. 
It fails with

looking for sendmail in /usr/sbin...
looking for sendmail in /usr/lib...
looking for sendmail in /sbin...
looking for sendmail in /bin...
looking for sendmail in /usr/sbin...
looking for sendmail in /usr/bin...
looking for sendmail in /usr/games...
looking for sendmail in /usr/local/sbin...
looking for sendmail in /usr/local/bin...
looking for sendmail in /usr/X11R6/bin...
looking for sendmail in /root/bin...
configure: error: no sendmail found; use --with-sendmail

Why on earth is apsfilter looking for sendmail? Does sendmail have _anything_ 
to do with printing? I'm building this on a workstation that gets all its 
mail via POP, and do not use or build sendmail.

The "use --with-sendmail" suggestion is mystifying as well. I have tried 'make 
--with-sendmail=no' and  'make --with-sendmail=false', both of which result 
in the same error.
