No.  sendmail can be configured to allow third-party relays...  IE machine X
can ask machine Y to relay mail to other machines.  Making the email look like
it originated at machine Y.  This is done when people use filters like procmail
and rbl to block spam site X from sending them email.  Now it appears to come
from site Y instead, bypassing the spam filter...
