I stopped using sendmail when easier to configure alternatives came along. Currently using Postfix. As such, I can't help in checking your config. But I do remember you had to compile the config files into a format sendmail actually can read. Did you do that part? -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
