I just helped someone solve this exact dilemma today. The answer is a qualified "yes, it can matter." Unless you do a zone transfer and take the DNS tables as they exist right now at your ISP and put them onto your machine, your users may have troubles reaching your own...
Go to /etc/mail/ and edit relay-domains to add something like this:
172.16.1. RELAY
Then, sendmail will relay your mail with no problems. Oh, it's a tab between the IP range and "RELAY."
Hope this helps.
