I just don't get it !!

When I first started using Linux on my home box 4+ year ago, I ran
everyhting worked and I ran as root !!

I decided to do the right thing, I stored all my config and rc scripts
et c. I downloaded the ximian gnome 1.4. I reformatted and re-loaded
my drive. I'm using SuSe 6.4. I set my self  up as a user. I use a dial
up ISP.
 I had been using fetchmail --> procmail --
                                          l
                                          V
                  _______________________________________________
             V                    V               V         V
            folder            folder            folder     folder



I would like then use mutt as my mua ( correct buzzword ??)
I used send mail as my mta. I am using ximaian evolution for for writing
this e-mail I DO NOT recommend it .
I have 2 problems 
    1. I cannot get sendmail to run. I am using config.mc:
        FEATURE(`nullclient',`mail.eagle1sr.com')
        FEATURE(`nocanonify')
        MAILER(smtp)
        MASQUERADE_AS(`eagle1st.com')
        FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')
        define(`SMART_HOST',`mail.eagle1st.com')
        FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')

        When I send my mail I get the following in my e-mail log:

        May 26 15:41:15 localhost sendmail[1322]: f4QJfF701322: from=-N,
        size=676, class=0, nrcpts=5,
        msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
        relay=root@localhost
        May 26 15:41:17 localhost sendmail[1324]: f4QJfF701322: to=--,
        ctladdr=-N (0/0), delay=00:00:02, xdelay=00:00:02, mailer=relay,
        pri=150676, relay=mail.eagle1st.com. [216.204.29.3], dsn=5.1.1,
        stat=User unknown
        May 26 15:41:18 localhost sendmail[1324]: f4QJfF701322:
        to=failure, ctladdr=-N (0/0), delay=00:00:03, xdelay=00:00:03,
        mailer=relay, pri=150676, relay=mail.eagle1st.com.
        [216.204.29.3], dsn=5.1.1, stat=User unknown
        May 26 15:41:18 localhost sendmail[1324]: f4QJfF701322:
        to=delay, ctladdr=-N (0/0), delay=00:00:03, xdelay=00:00:03,
        mailer=relay, pri=150676, relay=mail.eagle1st.com.
        [216.204.29.3], dsn=5.1.1, stat=User unknown
        @
    2. When I run fetchmail, my mail is parsed into the different folder
    s of my spool directory '/var/spool/mail/*folder'. The files are
    ed.users ( owner ) rw-rw-- . I cannot r/w to them
    when I run as a user 'ed'.  ?????


Any and all help appreciated. Or a any suggestiions about something
easier than sendmail. (2 cans & string !?)
