This is only the git built-in variant, but git-send-email can make
use of external tools, and i, in fact, _never_ (since before 2015)
used a different variant (for real).  The little MUA i maintain
documents something like

     [sendemail]
     smtpserver = /usr/local/bin/s-nail
     smtpserveroption = -t
     #smtpserveroption = -Sexpandaddr
     smtpserveroption = -Athe-account-you-need
     ##
     suppresscc = all
     suppressfrom = false
     assume8bitEncoding = UTF-8
     #to = /tmp/OUT
     confirm = always
     chainreplyto = true
     multiedit = false
     thread = true
     quiet = true
     annotate = true

   Newer git(1) versions (v2.33.0) added the option sendmailCmd.

You could also "simply" send format-patch output with anything you
wanted, including OpenBSD base tools (i presume .. but never tried
it).
