You might, but I'd leave sendmail in its default configuration of only accepting
connections from localhost because a lot of other programs expect to be able
to use it to send mail and it will queue and retry if it can't deliver
immediately. Just edit sendmail.mc and point SMART_HOST to the server that you
want to use as a relay.
