You need to do two more things
see the file /etc/sysconfig/sendmail
change the queing time there.
Secondly sendmail which comes with RH 6.2 does not allow relaying by
default so you will have to do a change in /etc/mail/access file
Basically you have to allow relaying for your internal machines.
You can allow relaying for your entire IP range by specifying
192.168.0 RELAY
in the file or allow particular IP addresses relay with
192.168.0.10 RELAY
after this go into the /etc/mail directory and run the following
make clean
make all
OR
better restart sendmail
Your problem should be solved.
