You would only need sendmail if you want to actually run a mail server. There are countless mail programs that you simply configure to use your service provider's mail server for incoming and outgoing mail. And btw sendmail is something that even very experienced unix admins struggle with. Don't mess with it if you don't need it! -- Doug
