I never saw any need/reason to masquerade outbound mail but it's fairly benign. As for instructing sendmail to listen for connections from other than localhost, that's a really big detail. Gave up on sendmail years ago in favor of postfix. Nothing actually wrong with sendmail but postfix was easier to get advanced features worked out.
