Depends on how you configure sendmail/whatever other MTA.  I run
sendmail on my laptop without any daemons (sm-msp -> central host via
TLS), though I could easily be running one (sm-mta, sm-msp from cron or
command line) or two (sm-mta and sm-msp dedicated client queue runner)
depending on what I wanted the host to be doing, and the sm-mta may or
may not be listening to non-localhost ports, and may or may not allow
relaying based on time of day, auth data, tls certs, or whatever.
