WL uses the function in `wl-draft-send-mail-function' to send out the
mail. Merely there is no prepared function for sending messages via
sendmail (C-h v wl-draft-send-mail-function RET).

What's wrong with using WL to send messages via SMTP?

Hi David,
thanks for the quick answer. I'm having trouble sending largish attachments, either they take really long to send, effectively stalling emacs during that time or they are not sent at all. Am I the only one experiencing that?
Cheers,
Sebastian
