Timothy,

It's been awhile since I last played with sendmail, but last I remember
is that in a fresh Fedora install the problem had to do with properly
setting MTAHost in /etc/mail/submit.cf.
The setting may be different on other systems.
# diff submit.cf_org submit.cf
        112c112
        < D{MTAHost}[localhost]
        ---
        > D{MTAHost}[smtp]

I went trough the same drill as you, so maybe you just need that setting.
