I've always left sendmail as a part of the default install. Reason being I figured it is required for internal mail delivery. Can I remove this from my install and still have internal mail delivery ie update notifications to root and so forth

Consider this... are you going run any cron jobs or batch programs on this machine? Do you want to be notified is something fails? You don't have to run sendmail in daemon mode, but you really do want some form of an MTA present so that it can at least send mail out. - herman
