I don't run DNS on the Linux box that I'm using as an email server for
myself. So no, it is not necessary.
In order for you to be able to use uucp and sendmail for email transfers
between you and your Internet Provider, your Internet provider has to set
up a DNS MX record for your host that points to his uucp host. He also
has to set up his sendmail configuration to use uucp as a mail transfer
agent for mail going to your host. It's not a lot of work for your
Internet Provider, as long as he/she is familiar with sendmail, DNS and
uucp configuration.
Best regards,
Nick
