As far as the version you are running - upgrade. Go to
Sendmail and get the latest.
As far as sending email from a system, you don't have to have Sendmail running. It only has to be on the system - you can send mail out. If this is a company then it more than likely has security policies about not having sendmail (or others mailers) running on anything but corporate approved. Pointing your server to the known mailhost is simple enough. Opening up a mail relay would make many folks on the Internet unhappy with your company.
