Andrew,

You can turn off the sendmail service on your laptop if you use the common MUA 
clients (thunderbird, evolution, etc.) which deliver mail directly to the 
appropriate mail server.

The only drawback for this operation is that you will not get any system emails 
from services such as "cron".  In my system, I routinely replace sendmail with 
another service (qmail) on my mail servers.  I also replace sendmail with a 
non-daemon based mail service (msmtp from sourceforge) [on my laptops and 
desktops] since there is no reason to waste resources when it is used so 
infrequently.
