 Maybe we should add a prompt to send-pr like
 
   "This needs a working local mail setup. If you do not send mail
    from this machine, please use the the web form at
      http://www.netbsd.org/send-pr
    instead.
 
    Do you want to (c)ontinue sending the PR, (a)bort and use the
    web form, or (n)ever ask you again and proceed..."
 
 And then store a flag in ~/.send-pr indicating the third choice.

 (I don't mind an alternative transport, but mail is well suited for this
 type of application; though the silent failure in case of a broken setup
 is not good)
