If you have a dynamic IP address, then you should set Sendmail up to
forward all outgoing mail to your ISP's mail gateway. My ISP's mail
gateway is mail.otenet.gr and I have a dynamic IP dialup address. All
outgoing mail is forwarded to mail.otenet.gr by adding the following in
my sendmail.mc file:
define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.otenet.gr')

You shouldn't need anything of the sort, unless you regularly use more
than one ISP.
