Dennis,
Your defualt setting in the sendmail.cf file
prevents sendmial from recieving mail accept on
the local machine (127.0.0.1)
DAEMON OPTIONS('Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1,Name=mta')dnl
This should be all on one line. Your email may
have truncated it.
The machine which you are sending mail must have a
valid FQDN. With junk mail running rampid these
days, most properly adminstered MTAs will reject
mail from a host which dosen't reverse resolve or
dosen't have a proper host lookup.
localhost.localdomain is a dummy hostname used for
looping on a single machine (or sometimes on a
closed network).
