1) it is Sun's tradition to ship a sendmail.cf with the relayhost set to mailhost.
Then you only need to define mailhost in the hosts file (or, even easier, in the naming service e.g. DNS).
1a) mailx, when delivering E-mail, spawns a sendmail that reads submit.cf.
The shipped submit.cf tells to deliver to port 25 on localhost.
2) there is also a sendmail daemon process that reads sendmail.cf and listens to port 25.
--
If you want mailx to deliver mail to mailhost without the sendmail daemon, you must define mailhost in submit.cf. Placing mailhost in the DS line should do it. (I would not go through the m4 hassle.)
