Not necessarily. :)

It depends on your distribution. Some distributions provide nice tools
with which to configure sendmail.

Exim and Postfix are two very common alternatives. Here is a sample of
exim's config syntax:
--------------------
qualify_domain = billjonas.com
local_domains = localhost:billjonas.com:sl25client205.vwrsp.com
local_domains_include_host = true
local_domains_include_host_literals = true
never_users = root
host_lookup = *
rbl_domains = blackholes.mail-abuse.org
rbl_reject_recipients = false
rbl_warn_header = true
host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1 : ::::1
--------------------
I can't speak for Postfix or qmail, as I've never used them.
