sure hope not  ;)  sendmail only delivers mail, it doesn't help you read it. 
That's where POP and IMAP come in.

look at /etc/xinetd.d/pop3s

disable         =no

type:

kill -HUP `cat /var/run/xinetd.pid`

if you don't have the above, look at /etc/inetd.conf and uncomment the pop3s 
line and restart inetd (HUP the pid or /etc/init.d/inetd restart)


now telnet localhost 110
