Here is a link to some instructions for sendmail configuration that I have found useful. They are specific to RedHat 7.1 but sendmail is sendmail and other than possibly some file locations it should work out the same. At any rate, hope it helps.

Sendmail by default will not allow sending of email  (if I'm remembering
right).

I think you need to tweak Sendmail's config files some to make this happen.
However, this isn't a Gentoo specific issue (or so it appears at first
glance).  Perhaps someonelse on the list who knows Sendmail could offer more
detail?

Hopefully this at least points you in the right direction.

Subject: [clug-talk] Sendmail on Gentoo Linux


I have successfully emerged sendmail on my gentoo box. It is running, but I cannot use it to send mail. When pine tries to send mail via sendmail, I get the following error: "SMTP Greeting Error 421: SMTP connection went away". I am at my wit's end about what to do, having googled in vain.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?
