Indeed, you can simply use your ISP's smtp server to send outbound mail
by choosing to use an SMTP server instead of Sendmail
(/usr/bin/sendmail).

Personally, I think that it is much better to set up smart host if
necessary and proper hostname (masquerading if necessary) since that
covers all bases and all applications and means that everything just
works.
