Not necessarily. As discussed at length on this list last month sendmail (or a substitute) may try to deliver the message rather than passing it to a local MTA.
Richard: If sending the mail is taking a long time you need to look at exactly how you're sending it. As Per points out the fastest way to send email is to dump it to a local MTA. You should be able to configure your system to do that pretty easily, but if you don't have that kind of access either change hosts or look at poking the message into an outgoing queue you implement yourself (file or db-based with a cron job to periodically process it).
