When I run /usr/sbin/sendmail from the command line, I get the following output (presumably the same output that meets message-send-mail...?): $ /usr/sbin/sendmail Exim is a Mail Transfer Agent. It is normally called by Mail User Agents, not directly from a shell command line. Options and/or arguments control what it does when called. For a list of options, see the Exim documentation. There is no config that I can figure out to switch this capability on. There are no diffs between the Ubuntu 7.10 config that looks like it relates to this. When running sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config there seems to be no option to allow local delivery. So I customized message-send-mail-function to have the value message-smtpmail-send-it and customized the smtpmail-smtp-server variable to have the value localhost. And then it seemed to be working again.
