That's why I never had a closer look at sendmail.

Uhm, if you don't know sendmail, then why start with sendmail in the first place? There are quite some easier MTAs out there. I personally like Postfix best, but Exim seems to be popular as well. And for simple setups something like ssmtp might even be sufficient. So, the real question is: Why do you want to use sendmail? Is there any real reason? > I also wonder if it's possible to use sendmail to relay mail to my gmai= l > account and send it from there? ? What do you want to accomplish? What benefit do you see by doing that?
