No, but it's pretty easy to invoke Sendmail.  You can use
resend_message_one_recipient as an example (you just need to change it
to use your message body rather than opening/reading INPUTMSG).

Note that you definitely want to invoke Sendmail in -odd mode; otherwise,
you can get a nasty effect where one busy slave causes another to be invoked
and things can spiral downhill quickly.
