Well, if you have a "smarthost" (a machine where sendmail directs all
non-local outgoing mail, as is typical for personal workstations), you
can just as well configure smtpmail to connect directly to the
smarthost.
- But: be aware that many Unix system programs use sendmail behind
your back (cron, sudo, ...) and it will be _lots_ of work to make them
do something else.

You do not need sendmail at all on your local host. Instead,
smtpmail.el directly talks to a remote SMTP server. Usually, your
ISP provides such a server, so you don't have to worry about it.

Yes, when I use Emacs 21.1 in MDL 8.2, there is no need to set the
smtpmail-smtp-server, but in woody (Emacs 21.2), I have to set the
additional variable.
I'm also curious.
