Hi Tassilo,
no, I tried it and it doesn't work.
Setting an entry to an empty string is not the same as having this entry
"not defined" for some applications.
For example, if you look at the git sendemail source code, you will see
take a different action is taken depending if the "tocmd" entry is
undefined or is set to an empty string.

For those interested and having the same problem with git sendemail,
here is a workaround that is working, though not very elegant, in my
local .git/config:
[sendemail]
smtpServer = alternate-mail-server.com
smtpUser = ""
smtpServerPort = ""
tocmd = /usr/bin/true
cccmd = /usr/bin/true
