I just checked the code, it's actually sendto(). But there's a BUT ;) If
there target resolves to multiple addresses (e.g. Ipv4/v6), sendto() is
called in a loop until success. If no success at all, the error message is
the last one, only.

If you like, I can craft a patch for you (quickly done) that emits exact
errors on each send. But it's pretty specific, so before doing even a
trivial patch, let's see if that work would be useful at all...
