If all else fails, read the source code.

The version (3.8.1_1) I've just checked just pipes its message into the 
command

sendmail -oi rcpt1 rcpt2 .....

which will simply use sendmail to queue up the mail and the sendmail 
demon will deal with it as it will - nothing to do with ddclient, and 
there is no ddclient config option to affect this.

There's no provision for using a different command to send the mail.

A workstation may have a simple sendmail config that forwards the mail 
to some smarthost -- sendmail.{mc|cf} is the place to check this. I've 
no idea what happens if a different MTA is in use.
