One of the opt-depend packages my disklow is using, "msmtp-mta", is
containing a single symlink (/usr/bin/sendmail => msmtp). Perhaps, I should
have a look at its PKGBUILD (it's most likely simply calling "ln -s" in its
install() section).

But what would the symbolic link be needed for?

/usr/{bin,sbin}/sendmail provides the mail transport binary for the various "mail" implementations. Sendmail, Msmtp, Postfix, etc, being MTAs provide the system with this very basic means to send email.
