Sendmail.

Quoting Chris Wagner <ismgr at atchisonkansas.net>:

It means that sendmail is meant to move mail from server to server, not 
to deliver it to the user.  That's usually done with a client of some 
sort, Pine, Outlook, etc.

Same or different linux box?

This is a tricky bit, and it's disabled because the lazy way to enable 
it allows spammers to use your server as a relay so mail appears to 
come from your domain instead of their blocked domain.
