  It is not necessary tho its not a bad idea. Your sendmail is merely
acting as a client to your ISP's sendmail - so as long as your ISP
sendmail is happy (on correct net, authorized etc) all is fine.

  That is -not- correct. The outside world will see the ISP sendmail
outbound MX and it will have a unique and reversable IP. The internal IP
may show up in a received line and plays zero roll at all. It is not a
problem in any way.
