FreeBsd 4.0,

during intall FreeBSd asked if my machine is be a leafnode?
I said no. At a later date I want to try to get another pc
to connect to my isp via this machine, so, did I do "right"?

maybe a related ques:
I went into the config menu that the install let's one see,
as a last "check" before commiting to the install. The
gateway entree was checked - what's that do/config. is a 
daemon or service turned on?

Will somebody please explain what the purpose of sendmail is?
I see it in all the textss, but never got simply it's purpose.
If i fetch mail from my ISP, then why do i need this running?

Thanks
