Unless you installed them someway that didn't honor the dependencies, that should be plenty. Any error messages in your logs? WHY can't it send mail?
Look at the CentOS/RHEL deployment guide and you'll see that by default they only accept inbound connections from 127.0.0.1 (http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.4/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-email-mta.html#s2-email-mta-sendmail) so if you haven't changed that, you'll need to. So far as sending email goes, you should be able to send just fine.
TYL,
