Not sure what that last sentence means. The mail command (or mailx) is
basically a front-end for sendmail. The mail command spawns sendmail to
do actual mail delivery.

Do you mean running a sendmail listener for incoming mail versus using
sendmail to send outgoing mail?

Yeah, you probably should not be running a sendmail daemon listening on
*:25. For older sendmail versions, you can still send mail with no daemon,
or run it without listening (no '-bd' option) so queued messages are
retried periodically. For newer versions of sendmail, a listening daemon
is required to send mail, but it should be bound to 127.0.0.1:25.
