If someone compiled an MTA into the MUA as with Pine yes. (Oh and btw Pine has a worse security history than sendmail). You can set up tools like sendmail to be send only, or use mailers like postfix or exim which have a better security reputation. The question of whether they are more secure than modern sendmail given relative usage volume is research for the reader.
