Nope.  It's a special client that feeds an MTA.

Well, you don't *have* to set up Sendmail.  You could use any MTA that you 
wanted to.

If you are already highly experience with Sendmail, then it might be the way 
to go.  If not, I would recommend going with Postfix instead.  It's *tons* 
simpler to administer, has a much better security track record than Sendmail 
and runs much better than Sendmail (I've seen Postfix handle more than 3 
times the load that Sendmail could on identical systems).
