No, relaying is only needed if the first receiving SMTP server is of a
different domain/host than the person sending OR receiving the mail. If
the localhost is sending mail, no mail server needs to have relaying set.
Please do NOT turn relaying on ANY mail server unless you fully understand
the consequences.

Which is what sendmail does even if it's run as a standalone. Oddly, it
sends mail.

Not necessary. It can send it directly IF the firewall permits that. Even
if it doesn't, you should be able to send mail directly to some user on
the localhost without having a) a running mail server; or b) any other
configuration whatsoever.
In terms of testing a WO app, that should suffice.
As soon as I recover from The Massive DB project, I'll probably write a
little example and post it.
