If you set up your local MTA properly, yes. However, that's not trivial. I maintained a local queueing MTA for many years, but after multiple screwups where mail wasn't getting sent (and I didn't find out in a timely manner) I switched to a non-queueing MTA (e.g. ssmtp) and later to mutt's SMTP support.
Been there, done that. I was running my own Postfix server back when you could get a dyndns domain name and no one really cared if you sent e-mails from your cable IP; and when that started to return too many errors I just started using Yahoo! SMTP servers as a relay. I'm amazed at how reckless I was back then :-)
