SUNWsndmu, as stated in /opt/csw/share/doc/postfix/README.CSW. The links
are ok:

What is logwatch trying to execute? Is it some /opt/csw path or some other
path that isn't /use/lib/send mail? If it is trying to explicitly execute
/use/sbin/send mail, that is a bug we should definitely fix.

relying on path to find it.

If the latter is happening, we should force it to use /use/lib/sendmail
explicitly (and likely make it a configure time option which is submitted
upstream).

I haven't actually looked at this so I could be way off...
