Yes. Set your mail client to send mail via "localhost" (or whatever 
specific configuration you have to do, perhaps 127.0.0.1 as "outgoing mail 
server" or "smtp server") and make sure the sendmail service is running:

# service sendmail start
# chkconfig sendmail on

Then, run "netstat -leanp | grep sendmail" and make sure that it is *only* 
listening on 127.0.0.1 and *not* on any external IP address. You should 
then be OK sending mail directly.

Cheers,
