Meaning what, exactly? Your box doesn't need any other to send
or receive mail.

In /etc/mail/access:
localhost.localdomain OK
localhost OK
In /etc/sendmail.cw:
ourdomain.com
In your sendmail.mc config file (the thing you use to generate
your sendmail.cf file), you need to have:
FEATURE(`access_db')
FEATURE(`always_add_domain')
FEATURE(`use_cw_file')
Then rebuild your sendmail.cf file.
